The Largest Anti-War Movement Ever

 My comment is aimed at the so called 20 million. So called because I don't think the numbers approach 20 million, The protest in London, Paris and Berlin along with San Fransisco and New York IE the biggest.. don't even add up to 5 million people.

Saddam said publicly that he thanked all of you.

Saddam, in case you forgot is the man who has had over 1,000,000 of his countrymen purged and liquidated for political reasons over the last 30 years. For those who have a problem with purge as a euphemism, he murdered them.

Saddam, in case you forgot is the man who has had over a million deaths caused in warfare against Iran. Lord knows how many Iranians died.

Saddam is the person responsible for more death and suffering than the United States has cause over the same time period. Yet we, for some unknown reason are called into question?

I agree that war sucks. It should be avoided, but not at all costs. Sometimes you have to do hard things because they are better to have been done than avoided. Would the 2,000,000 say thank you to the 20,000,000 protesters? I don't think they would.
