Arguing Against the War

It's can seem difficult to argue against the war in Iraq, especially when faced with counter-arguments such as "you think Saddam Hussain should have been left in power?" or "Are you saying we shouldn't go after the terrorists?".

However, it's important to remember that the devil is in the detail:-

* Why did we go to war? I seem to remember something about WMD's.

* According to Iraq Body Count, over 35,000 civilians have been killed.

* Torture at Abu Graib and Guantanamo. Waterboarding, forced-feeding etc. Only 10 people have been charged in Guantanamo, so that leave over 400 innocent people still there.

* You can never win a war on terror by killing people. It's a war on an idea.
