Some observations regarding anti-war protests and the excuse that it’s US unilateralism that gives the Iraqi War its illegitimacy<\/a>:<\/p>\n

But do you imagine for a single second that the professional “anti-war” scribblers would have changed their tune in the case of a united diplomatic front? In the case of Afghanistan, the vote at the UN was as near-unanimous as such a thing can be.
\nYet still the streets filled with the same dreary chant of “Stop the War”(as if it hadn’t already started – on September 11, 2001 to be precise). There were Syrian and Egyptian troops fighting in the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, which had a full UN mandate, but the same demonstrators showed up with much the same placards.<\/p>\n

Interesting reading.<\/p>\n
