Readers say war 'not justified'
Opponents of the war have won a BBC News Online debate, with a majority against the motion that war was justified to topple Saddam Hussein's regime.
An invited group of BBC News Online readers took part in the live online debate, responding to the motion: "That going to war was a price worth paying for the liberation of the Iraqi people." It followed a debate three weeks earlier in which readers considered whether going to war had been a mistake.
After the close of discussion, all users were invited to have their say by agreeing or disagreeing with the motion.
Over the Easter holiday weekend, more than 1200 of you took part, with the result that 36% agreed with the motion and 64% disagreed. Of the 1,254 votes cast, 450 said that war was justified. Those opposing the motion numbered 804.
