They forced the families of the people kidnapped to keep quite and did not publicly even acknowledge that anything had happened. I am also not a religious man so I do not think and prayer would help... But if it works for you or them its all good. I am also involved in politics on a mild scale... I will one day take more of a active role in it. I agree that they took a big risk in going to Iraq, but the fact that my country just stood back and did nothing is just plain wrong.

Secondly, my thoughts and prayers go out to the people and families that are affected. But, these individuals volunteered to go where they went. They went there knowing that the government wouldn't be able to protect them there. And unfortunately, the risk they took came to fruition. You can't blame the country for that. As for Gordon Brown... Well, he seems to have a knack of pissing people off. Be it the "waste less food" comments or this. But then, do we want leaders we like personally, or that get things done? I'd encourage you to get active in your country's political process if you want something different. Ranting on a website will only go so far, you know. As much as I wish it would, acknowledging their fate won't bring them home. You'll get more mileage out of prayer. First off, I’m not British.

Especially when it is the workers of your own country, their lives at stake. Stuart Heya Lee,
