Who are these 'anti-war' people?
They are the same people who excused and defended Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot against the Americans and their allies. They are the people who helped Ho Chi Minh to subject the Vietnamese people to a harsh brutal communist regime. They are the same people who defended Saddam Hussein in the face of action to remove the most brutal dictator of the second half of the twentieth century and to free the people of Iraq.
One of the great mysteries of modern life is how these same people maintain any credibility at all – let alone form the ruling class in Western liberal democracies.
