Den 20 mars 2003 klockan 05.34 lokal tid startade USA det andra Irak-kriget. På denna mörka dag tänkte jag det kunde vara lite upplyftande att visa på att det finns andra, mer kloka, amerikaner än George W Bush.

Adam C. Engst skriver i TidBITS "A Personal Statement on War in Iraq".

"I'm angry because it looks as though the United States is about to wage war on Iraq without direct provocation, without clear evidence of the existence of weapons of mass destruction, without strong international support, and without even having shown indisputable ties between Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network." - Adam C. Engst

David K. Every skriver på sin webb-plats iGeek om sin syn på "Foreign Policy - The U.S. versus the world?".

"I don't like Saddam or Iraq's policies; but it is their country. Just because my neighbor has a gun that he might use, is not an excuse for me to break into his house and take his guns away from him. We understand this in domestic policy, but choose to argue differently about foreign policy. And ironically, Europeans who seems to generally think of that as acceptable domestic policy, choose to see it as unacceptable foreign policy. Go figure. This moral ambiguity is leading us down a rather slippery slope. "We are scared of them" is not justification for war, even for the U.S. Get a real excuse!"
