Subject: RE: BS: WMDs, Iran and Bush
Amos,

And I would support a UN invasion of Sudan.

But my point is that those "opposed " to the war were in fact opposed to any Bush action against Iraq: They made NO effort to even hint that Saddam should comply, and I DID post the article about the Iraqi group that was prevented from marching in the "anti-war" protests BECAUSE they were stating that Saddam should step down.

You are entitled to think that Bush jumped the gun: I am entitled to think that, had the Left, and those countries that prevented effective UN action bothered to tell Saddam to give up power in as strong terms as they told Bush to NOT take action, there would have been mo war, no insurgency, and no occupation of Iraq by outside troops.

Saddam had the option of opening his borders, and not resisting any invasion ( prior to the start of combat). Did you ever wonder why he thought that he would NOT be held accountable?

Millions of protesters telling Bush to stop, and saying NOTHING about Saddam.
