So if anyone marches against the Labour party, they must secretly be Tory supporters? That's logic chain is going to hack a lot of people off!  |
Two more quick points.
1. I never said the reason people marched was to keep him in power, but whatever the reason it would have been a direct result of their actions. They still marched. They must have accepted that.
2. I never said people marched to support Saddam, I said they marched to keep him in power. You can still do that and not support him.

How did I twist that? If you had missed out that last statement, I would have been twisting your words - you didn't.
You didn't say cause and effect, you stated that was the reason.

Because Saddam being in power would have meant no war. Again, they marched to keep him in power, but not marched to support him. (although if you go to sites like
www.protestwarrior.com you'll find people who marched that did).
People wern't marching up to the UN demanding he be removed and tried like Milosevic was. People were marching to prevent a war. The only action that would have removed him.
