The hypocracy of the anti-war movement

The Sun | 05.02.2004 14:53

The anti-war movement claim they believe in democracy right? Why then try to disrupt the countrys' topic democratic institution the House of Commons. The same house where a century a ago women chained themselves to fences and went to prison for the right to participate in that very institution.

PROTESTERS who disrupted the Hutton Report debate in the Commons claim to be speaking for a majority in Britain. They are not. A poll this week revealed that nearly 70 per cent of people agree the Iraq war was justified because it got rid of Saddam. Now that the anti-war brigade cannot get their way by peaceful means, they are turning to methods more suited to the mob. They claim to support democracy. But disrupting the Commons won’t advance the democratic process. They claim to be supporting the people of Iraq. But where were they when it was revealed Saddam had gassed his own people? No one noticed them protesting about that.
