Apologies on the double post, but I just had to post this.

Is a BBC discussion topic, based on the recent 'end' for the search of Saddam's WMDs.
This quote is great, especially the last bit.
"Is it so terrible that Saddam is gone and Iraqis have a shot at democracy? Sure war is hell, but we've liberated millions of people from decades of tyranny and far worse brutality in every way than our regime change. Unfortunately closed minds are impossible to liberate."

And here, another one that shows more right-wing sheeplike ignorance.
"Every one of the letters posted that laments the loss of life in 'post Saddam Iraq' fail to mentions the loss of life during Saddam's regime. They cry for the recent dead but not the past dead. These people need to understand that Iraq is the frontline in the war against terror. It is a battle and people die like they did on September 11 and in Madrid, Bali, East Africa, and Turkey. It's a war. Kill or be killed. It's that simple. Thank Goodness W was re-elected and is willing to fight."

Although, don't worry, some people are thinking on the rightish track.
"Something we knew all along, what is the worst of all, there seems to be little public outrage about the announcement. Maybe that's because all along we knew it was a ruse, and red states still don't seem to care."

I really like this one.
"There is only one thing more disturbing than this unnecessary war: the culprits, the leaders of the various governments responsible for this war, will get away with it completely unscathed. Justice will never be done for all of the soldiers and Iraqi civilians who lost their lives needlessly."
