GUEST, I'm a bit puzzled that you say that those involved in the anti-war movement are not concerned with the Iraqi people. It seems to me that it's one of the major reasons for the whole thing.

If you're thinking in terms of regime change in Iraq, then I can't see that going to war with the idea of deposing Hussein is hardly the best way. Among other things, it could solidify the support of a lot of Iraqi citizens behind him, whether they like him or not. E.g., "Sure, he's a son-of-a-bitch, but he's our son-of-a-bitch, and where the hell do you Americans get off trying to tell us how to run our country?" From what I've heard, there is a lot of that kind of feeling in Iraq already.
