I did love to read the link by Carol. Reading Human Rights Watch stance on wars was refreshingly different from a completely pacifist stance.

War often carries enormous human
                costs, but we recognize that the imperative of stopping or preventing genocide or other systematic slaughter can sometimes justify the use of military
                force. For that reason, Human Rights Watch has on rare occasion advocated humanitarian intervention

With such a (general) position they would have been in a minority in the discussions here before the last wars we have discussed.

With their position regarding this particular war they would have been with the majority here, and deservedly so.
