Something for the anti-war protestors to keep in mind: you may say that you don't approve of Saddam Hussein, but he approves of you, and that ought to give you pause:

Iraq was gloating Sunday over the global outpouring of opposition to a possible U.S.-led war against the country, saying the rallies by millions of people signaled an Iraqi victory and "the defeat and isolation of America."

The CNN report fails to make a critical distinction, between Iraq the people, and Iraq the government. The Iraqi people said nothing; they are not allowed to speak other than to say what Saddam wants them to say. Mark Steyn had a tart reminder that the marchers are purporting to defend people who don't want their "help":

Why not ask an Iraqi what the disadvantages of stalemate are? As far as Saddam's subjects are concerned, the "peace" movement means peace for you and Tony Benn and Sheryl Crow and Susan Sarandon, and a prison for them. I was in Montreal last week, which has the largest Iraqi population in North America. I've yet to meet one who isn't waiting eagerly for the day the liberation of their homeland begins. Then they can go back to the surviving members of their families and not have to live in a country where it's winter 10 months of the year...

Today's demo is good for Saddam, but bad for the Iraqi people, and the Palestinian people, and the British people. One day, not long from now, when Iraq is free, they will despise those who marched to keep them in hell.
