We are losing the argument against the war!

We are rapidly losing the argument against the war. Immediatly after the massive anti-war march last Saturday there was a barrage of criticism against the anti-war movement from people like Tony Blair, The Sun and even Mirror columnist saying that no one wants war but something has to be done about Saddam and his continued oppression of his people and the Kurds. We need answers to agruments put forward for war like that!

The pro war lobby are coming out with very powerful arguments such as it would be foolish to leave Saddam to do as he pleases and the pro war lobby are insisting that they are dead against war too but that war may be the only option. Our arguments against this war are wearing thin now. Everyone knows that war will cause massive death, destruction and displacement of millions of people but most people can see no alternative to war in dealing with Saddam!

There have even been many people with libertarian views like ourselves coming out in support of this war because they support oppressed groups in Iraq like the Kurds and are arguning that for the sake of all the oppressed people in Iraq Saddam must be overthrown. They too know the real motives about this war that is mainly for oil but still want Saddam to be overthrown by anyone even the Americans.

We need to start coming up with fresh arguments against this war if we are not to lose the argument completely and so make war inevitable! We don't even have the majority of the population behind us either as most people in America support the coming war and most people in Britain would support it with UN backing so we are definitly losing the argument we need to stand up and face that problem!
