Most Iraqis would appear to agree with this.

These are from a BBC opinion poll that was released a few days ago:

Warning: it's 27 pages of statistics. It's not all as rosy as we might hope for but it looks promising.

Sorry can't march today. I'm busy working for imperialism. I don't entirely agreee with unprovoked. I personally think that 92 would have been the optimum time to remove Saddam. If you want to protest against imperialism why don't you protest against your mother countries imperialism. Tony Blair was at least as responsible as our President if not more for the recent war.

Its a nice thought to march for peace, but
A) its too late to pull out now the sperms are already racing for the egg
2) If we were a pacifist isolationist nation the world would be worse off.
you ask how the world would be worse off? look at the years between WWI and WWII and how it lead up to the rise of Hitlers fiefdom.

Well you are right. Lets say everybody leaves Iraq. There will be a power vacuum and a bloody civil war where tens of thousands would die. Only idiots are for withdrawing at this time.
edit: grammar correction |
I think you should sign up to go over and win the peace.
I agree that the situation is too complex to just up and leave. It's too complex for you to decide that these people are pro-saddam or pro-death and murder. Are there any recruitment offices near you.

So you guys marching are for the imprisonment of Iraqis and for the murder of Iraqis? Just wonderful. I hope you put your heads down in shame while you march because your stupidity. "Peace" marches? How can anybody call them "peace" marches? They are pro-Saddam marches and are stupid and incidentally only protest Bush because the people protesting hate Bush. That's the only reason. None of the people in the marches give a damn about the Iraqi people.
