So are we or are we not at war? Nato affirmed Article 5 - an attack on one is an attack on all. If we were attacked, then are we not at war? Interesting question since we are not in a peace keeping operation under the mandate of the UN - Korea and Persian Gulf. Although Johnson claimed we were attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin, we did not hold Nato to Article 5. At what point are we at war?

BTW, still looking for a copy of Tony Blair's speech. From the little I saw, it was stunning! Talk about leadership taking responsiblity. I was ready to go vote for him right then and there - until logic prevailed and I realized I can't.

Is the UK now at war? From Blair's speech, I certainly would have thought so.
