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.

Do you think the government's military mouthpiece - the BBC (Bullshit Broadcasting Corruption) - give's a flying fig what the majority says?
Don't you get it yet?
WE DON'T HAVE A VOICE...
We only have one choice.
REVOLT!
Speechless
All BBC online readers ...

Fucking hell.
Just browse downstream for some of my posts if you are not aware of what injustice is happenning in this 'shrunk' world and how desperate the BBC pigs are in trying to distract us.
Write them and ask where Jhon Simpson is? Why is there no reporting from Basra where 'our boys' have taken 'freedom'.
Must be some of our 'freedom' to know what the fuck is happening in the place where another cruel phase (I think they are voting on the previous phase ... what they call the 'war')
is starting.
