"The anti-war-peace-at-all-costs movement have illustrated clearly that they do not give a flying fig about the Iraqi people, so your statement, quoted above, amounts to nothing more than crocodile tears."

Just an observation, but the people i know involved in anti war movement are the same ones who have been involved with human rights issues for decades. I know very few people (though there are some) who have been involved with these human rights causes who are supporting this war. The vast majority of anti war activists are hugely concerned with the well being not only of the people of Iraq, but also of all the other countries with atrocious human rights records who are happily tolerated and often supported by our lovely democratic governments. They are also concerned with the wider consequences of allowing the US to make unilateral decisions about who it can attack, and the future suffering of those who happen to be in the way. Although there are some people who have been persuaded by the human right aspect for going to war, the human rights of the people of iraq is only a pretext for war and is being used in a hugely selective manor.
