One argument that pro-war campaigners use is that anti-war campaigners are somehow pro-Saddam. They then reel off all the statistics about how evil Saddam is and how he is about to kill us all unless we go to war, and unfortunately kill innocent Iraqi civillians.
I would say that of course Saddam is evil, and he must be removed. But the UN should be allowed to help the Iraqi people overthrow Saddam themselves. Many people in his own country hate him and if they were strong enough would overthrow him. The Shi-ites tried it and got no backing from the west after they were promised they would be supported and so they were slaughtered.
Democracy cannot be imposed from above by the US, it must be be grown from the grassroots up.
