You will find people agreeing with this assessment and still opposing the
war in Iraq. Because they do not feel the two cases are comparable.


I dont hear many germans today bitchin today because we bombed the hell
out the civilians and hitlers minions in ww2, freeing them from a
tyranical leadership in the process.....not to mention similiar
scenarios like japan etc etc....

And if peace at ANY cost is your mantra you better start polishing your
posters demanding that old Abe Lincoln go down as the most evil man in
history for starting that war of northern agression that ended up
freeing the slaves..... (not that the civil war actually had much to do
with slavery in reality)

Your comment addresses people who oppose war in any case. I believe they
are a minority in Germany and France. Remember, German soldiers are in
Afghanistan and while of course there is opposition against it, Germany
has aligned itself with the US in this conflict. Iraq is a different
matter in that many more people question the necessity of this war. Not
knowing what would have happened without the US marching in, one can't
really prove them wrong.
