There have been many in the anti-war camp who have shown a blind bias against everything the coaliton was doing. However I don't believe this discredits the entire peace movement. I oppose this war on a number of levels which have yet to be resolved.

Is this a war of liberation or expanding American influence or both? It is true that many Iraqi's are happy their tyrant is gone. That doesn't mean this war was entirely about liberation. This question has yet to be answered. The war has successfully convinced the American public that they are right and invincible. A dangerous combination.

Will this war bring about more terrorism than it solves?
Osama Bin Laden, the one sure enemy to cause mass destruction was motivated by that last stunning western victory in Iraq. How many more Bin Ladens have been so motivated?

The pro war movement seems to be thoroughly convinced that there was no other option in Iraq. A careful study of non-violent action would reveal that the "peace niks" have successfully overturned many oppresive regimes in the last 30 years. These revolutions are far less bloody and far more effective at bringing true peace.
Military action may bring regime change but it rarely brings lasting fruitful peace.
