Anna Yearley, from Rhondda

I believe the war was the right thing to do because I think Saddam Hussein was a tyrant. I think he did a lot of damage to people in Iraq and it was justifiable to take action to get rid of him.

I do trust the prime minister and the intelligence he received on Iraq, and his stance on the war. I don't think he would take us into a war that led to many casualties unless he really believed it was the right thing to do.

I know there are people in the party who think it was wrong to side with the US over the war, but I think a good relationship with the US is vital for the UK.

We can provide a bridge between Europe and the US and that is a vital role to play. You can't turn your back on the US.

I know there are people who are opposed to the prime minister's position on the war, and I obviously hope it hasn't damaged the prime minister's leadership or threatened our chances of winning a third term in government.

I think in the end the government will be tested on other matters, those which really matter to people at home like public services and other areas.

A lot of the people I talk to when canvassing in the Rhondda believe they are getting a good deal from the government.

The war is not an issue on the doorsteps - they are more worried about getting a new road, or a hospital. They are the things people mention.

I don't think any country has the right to invade another country without at least minimal backing from the UN.

Otherwise you end up with complete anarchy.

They have still not found the weapons of mass destruction and I think they were probably dismantled before the war because of the UN inspections.

Yes, Saddam did lots of terrible things to his own people, but that has happened in lots of other countries around the world, and do we invade them?

How do you justify invading Iraq against all the other countries who have abused human rights?

It might have been justified if they had found weapons of mass destruction.

And was Saddam a threat to us? It has never been proved that there was a link with Osama Bin Laden.

It has certainly damaged the prime minister. It is so important that we get a third term.

He did a brilliant job to get us back from nowhere, but the war has damaged our chances of winning again.
