Ake,

You miss the point that not all of us apriori agree with you.

Some of us feel that the actions of those protesting the Iraq war BEFORE it began , without calling for Saddam to comply with his obligations ( both ceasefire and UN resolutions) makes those people more guilty of the murders of innocents, by encouraging Saddam in thinking he could get away without complying, than conservatives who supported holding Saddam responsible.

I have posted links of how the anti-war folks have acted to silence those who disagree with them, and present exagerated numbers about civilian causualties, while ignoring the fact that the insurgents have killed more innocents than the coalition has. Yet where are the calls for the INSURGENTS to stop their terrorist activities, ao that the US and coalition can legally withdraw?
