Watching ABC's World News Tonight (living up to its name for once - a rare enough event in my experience) I noticed one of the journos in Baghdad claiming that people there had thought that world opinion had been behind them, but were now expecting war. I don't know that it's true that people have ever been with Iraq, just that they're against peace-lovin' Georgie Boy's belligerence.
No one can seriously argue that Saddam's a saint, nor that his removal from power would be bad for the Iraqi people. And some anti-war protestors may actually believe that he has weapons of mass destruction. But there's a right way and a wrong way to do things, and killing innocent people with those same weapons of mass destruction is The Wrong Way.
Couple of shouts to people on this issue. Thanks to Brian Jude (must buy you that beer sometime!) for drawing my attention to this very disturbing story - whatever happened to the first amendment, guys? And also thanks to one of his friends for letting me in on an excruciatingly accurate spoof White House website.
