Right before I start. What I write here is in no way my view of the current Iraq situation. So read it and understand it before you decide to post. Please.

Right they say around 1 Million folk marched for peace the other day. Not sure if that is all over the world or just the UK but I think it might be the first.
Anyway seen somewhere today that it was showing us that nobody wants the war. Right but surely that is just a small fraction and others may have a totally different view.

Are we being told what our view should be here?

Then today in a paper I read Iraq where pleased that the world were finally standing up to Americas ways. Do these people know what life for people in Iraq are like and remember the likes of the Gulf war and all that went on before.

Maybe the claims for no war might just not bring the peace people want.

Any views.....

I'm more amused by the fact that people saying "No war!" are instantly told they're in favour of Mr. Hussain's land of happines-through-torture.

There's a difference between deposing a tyrant and bombing civillians into hating you because "they'll agree with us when we win". Even if they do, some of them will still be dead.

There was a Pro-Saddam section in the London march.
Some people didn't like all the flags with his face on them, but by marching for no war, they were basically supporting his regime.

Why? As I said in my post, there's a difference between killing him and killing the people in his country.

Killing his army. He already kills the people in his country.
But the people in the march were saying they didn't want any bloodshed. So they would rather Saddam continues with his regime than get rid of him.

I don't agree with that. I just don't agree with the plan that seems to be "let's bomb his weapons factories again. even though he's built hospitals and schools on top of them".

Oh yes. I see little ethical problem in having him slowly killed over a period of several days.

Peace is not just the absence of war, that's something a lot of those protesting need to learn, and yes that might be a quote, but I don't know who from...
