Anti-War protesters change their minds...

Munster:

“Liberation” is your personal interpretation of this war. Others may agree. Will the iraqis?

And if I haven’t interpreted the gist of your posts correctly, then tell me where I am wrong. When in your opinion would it be okay for America to act unanimously without the consent of the UN?

I hope never. Save should the hypothetical situations, that are so often constructed to prove that breaking the rules are okay, actually one day materialize in the real world.

**Well Sam, let’s give you a camcorder and send you south of the border, and see if you couldn’t come up with someone begging the Canadians to liberate Chicago.

Now, just to make myself perfectly clear:

I do not claim that most Iraqis don’t hate Saddam.

I do not dispute that many Iraqis may welcome an invasion.

But I do require better support for your claim that “the citizens of [Iraq]… are begging [the US] to come”, than that some Iraqis have said so on camera.

It is a matter of how you can safely generalize from individuals to the population of a country. **

If the Iran and Kuwait newsmedia can be believed, Iraq civilians are rebelling in Baghdad and Bosria right now killing members of the Republican guard and other Saddam cronies. How that? Is that good enough support for American and British troops and their war of liberation?
