"I don't oppose war, but I wanted the UN to sanction it". Still amounts to the same. UNSC countries were going to veto any resolution specifying violence, so a vote for that is a vote for Saddam in power. You can't oppose the war, but then not oppose the consequences. Its either one or the other.
Also, you can squirm all you like, but if you think Saddam and his sons were just going to walk away and leave a human-rights-observing democracy in their wake, then you are naive. After Saddam, he had 2 even more psychotic and evil sons. Their power satistifed their sick urges. They had several wives each. You think between all them they'd not produce at least one male heir? You think Saddam's sons would make great parents? When would it end naturally? There have been multiple populous revolutions brutally supressed by Saddam.
I am sorry you found my comments insulting, but that's your conscience, not mine.

And in one sentence I can claim that the deaths of every innocent civilian and every military personal rests on the shoulders of those who didnt march.
I'd be wrong, but I can claim it.
What does the future hold?
More death, more terror? Is that really what we want? No. So why do we back the war in Iraq that achieved neither its purpose or goals?
And for the record......I was anti war then and I am now. We have no right to be in Iraq, we have de-stabilised the entire country.
And for the record 2: I love military aircraft and I loved watching the bombardment of Bagdad, but it still didnt make the war right or just.
