"IMO, those who opposed the war with Iraq WITHOUT demanding that Saddam comply with the UNR bear some responsibility in the subsequent war: Had the Left made it clear to Saddam that they would NOT support his continued violations of UNR, it would seem likely that Saddam would have left Iraq rather than to try to tough it out. "

This is superb - not content with supporting the debacle in Iraq you are trying to shift some of the blame for this mess onto people who opposed it? Is your conscience eating you away so much the only way you can assuage your guilt is by transferring it to people who don't agree with you? Is the only way you can deal with the bloodied consequences of the actions you so vigorously defend the abdication of responsibility?

This shows such a lack of moral integrity it can only be described as right-wing. Have some bollocks, stand by your convictions and have the courage not to attempt to implicate those who objected to your ill-conceived venture.
