As has been mentioned several times lately, an anti-war stance is NOT a pro-Saddam stance. He is a monster, but I don't believe for one minute that the proper way to get rid of a monster is to feed him to an even bigger one.
The reason this keeps comming up I think is that fankly a lot (not all by any means and probably still a minority) of anti-war protesters are pro-Saddam. I read a poll taken after the war that said that 33% of people in France and and even higher % in Russia actually wanted the coalition to lose the war!! That's pretty pro-Saddam in my book. Your own post, which is a bit cryptic, seems to say that you prefer Saddam over GWB??? |
