"Are these people ignorant, or are they blinded by hatred of the United States?" Nasser the poet demanded.
Here is an article four years old.
It shows that the left and the media never even considered this war to be a just one on any, even the most humane, level. They decided to beat this war a long time ago. The media's bias is so incredibly offensive - and has been from the start.
BUT THEIR IDIOTIC RANTINGS AND TANTRUMS ARE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY AND ARE DOING A HELL OF A LOT OF DAMAGE
The truth is that Western forces, wherever / however they face an enemy muslim, they are fighting the good fight.
They are the Good Guys.
As are so many Iraqi people who must be sick worrying about their impending future. It is crucial that we start to fight this war like we mean it!
And it is painfully obvious that the left and the media are waging their own war fueled by hysterics alone and free from the ravages of critical, truly selfless thought.

Voice of Iraqis:
Why don’t antiwar types want to hear them?

"Could I have the microphone for one minute to tell the people about my life?" asked the Iraqi grandmother.
I spent part of a recent Saturday with the so-called "antiwar" marchers in London in the company of some Iraqi friends. Our aim had been to persuade the organizers to let at least one Iraqi voice to be heard. Soon, however, it became clear that the organizers were as anxious to stifle the voice of the Iraqis in exile as was Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
The Iraqis had come with placards reading "Freedom for Iraq" and "American rule, a hundred thousand times better than Takriti tyranny!"
But the tough guys who supervised the march would have none of that. Only official placards, manufactured in thousands and distributed among the "spontaneous" marchers, were allowed. These read "Bush and Blair, baby-killers," " Not in my name," "Freedom for Palestine," and "Indict Bush and Sharon."
Not one placard demanded that Saddam should disarm to avoid war.
The goons also confiscated photographs showing the tragedy of Halabja, the Kurdish town where Saddam's forces gassed 5,000 people to death in 1988.
We managed to reach some of the stars of the show, including Reverend Jesse Jackson, the self-styled champion of American civil rights. One of our group, Salima Kazim, an Iraqi grandmother, managed to attract the reverend's attention and told him how Saddam Hussein had murdered her three sons because they had been dissidents in the Baath Party; and how one of her grandsons had died in the war Saddam had launched against Kuwait in 1990.
"Could I have the microphone for one minute to tell the people about my life?" 78-year-old Salima demanded.
The reverend was not pleased.
"Today is not about Saddam Hussein," he snapped. "Today is about Bush and Blair and the massacre they plan in Iraq." Salima had to beat a retreat, with all of us following, as the reverend's gorillas closed in to protect his holiness.
We next spotted former film star Glenda Jackson, apparently manning a stand where "antiwar" characters could sign up to become "human shields" to protect Saddam's military installations against American air attacks.
"These people are mad," said Awad Nasser, one of Iraq's most famous modernist poets. "They are actually signing up to sacrifice their lives to protect a tyrant's death machine."
