John Ince, a veteran of the Russian convoy run of World War II, maintains it is not our fight.
Mr Ince, 78, is by no means a pacifist. But he believes war should be a last resort and a nation should go to war only to defend itself from attack.
"Australia should not be in Iraq," he said. "The Arab countries are a law unto themselves. It is a lot of infighting and they don't want interference from us at all. I am sure of that.
"Going to war there will only make the situation worse. There will be a backlash from the Arab countries against us for messing about in their backyard.
"I fear this will hang around for a long time with terrorist acts and reprisals."
