The guys organising next weekâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s anti-Bush rally are not really against war, they just think it is a pity that the free world won the Cold War. And anyone clambering aboard their Big Red Peace Bus is a fellow traveller with fans of totalitarianism.

Talking of which, the next question I would like to ask anyone standing next to me next Thursday is: do you miss the fact that mass murderers no longer run Iraq?

I respect freedom too much to enjoy seeing it abused by those whose first instinct is to insult anyone who actually bothers to fight for it.

When someone says "you're either with us or against us" and other such things, are they *really* "fighting for freedom" or trying to dictate to everyone else how they should run their affairs??

Of course we can all pick holes in whatever bits of the above article that we want to but the general gist of it is thought provoking-Ramrod

Yes, the general gist of it is that the author has a clear agenda that he wants to push and is willing to ignore any inconvenient facts that get in its way.
