Hmmm, I guess this jury of idiots is confused about the enemy here....

I think they're very, very clear on who their enemy is, even if they lie outrageously on the point in their rhetoric. The Iraqi people are their enemy, as are any people who reach for (or attain) freedom, security, prosperity and a liberal governance and social order. Bear in mind these are leftists, not liberals in any sense, or certainly not in any broad or traditional sense of the term. They're as passionately opposed to the core values of classical liberalism as the Nazis were (just less honest about it).

I'm always amused when these "compassionate" anti-war folks are suddenly so interested in championing the Iraqi people they seem to have only discover when we went to war with them. When tens of thousands more were dying under Saddam I guess they weren't in a war, so they weren't worth defending.

Some of those who support the war, too, seem to have only discovered their compassion for the Iraqis now that we have taken it upon ourselves to fight Saddam, but to me that's a case of waking up to a wrong we should have corrected long ago and acting in our best interest; the "peace" folks, on the other hand, claim this selfless passion for "innocents" just as someone is actually HELPING their situation.

The "peace" brigades are only interested in victims if their victim status can somehow be linked to US wrongdoing, no matter how crazy the link. I wonder if any of these dopes ever thinks about that. Of course, first they'd have to think...
