Immorality of the Anti-War Marchers
The Washington Post ^ | February 19, 2003 | Michael Kelly

"Last weekend, across Europe and America, somewhere between 1 million and 2 million people marched against a war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq. All protests against war are ultimately ethical in nature, and Saturday's placard-wavers did not break with tradition: "Give Peace a Chance," "Make Tea, Not War," "Bush and Blair -- the Real War Criminals." These are statements of sentiment, not power politics, and the sentiment is, or is meant to be, a moral one.

I was shocked to find this article in the Washington Post but hooray for Michael Kelly! This article succinctly captures the lunacy of the left and the emptiness of their postion.

To march against the war is not to give peace a chance. It is to give tyranny a chance. It is to give the Iraqi nuke a chance. It is to give the next terrorist mass murder a chance. It is to march for the furtherance of evil instead of the vanquishing of evil.

This cannot be the moral position.

Outstanding!

I've always enjoyed Michael Kelly but, in this column, he's outdone himself!

Thanks for the pings and a "nighty-night" bump!
