War or anti war?

There seems to be a great for or against battle of wits taking place in the blogoshere and in the media in general about the Iraq situation. What is right and what is wrong. What is most certainly at fault is that important points have been lost in a great deal of obfuscation which have muddied the waters.
My position is simple, I am anti war (Iraq.) and in the manifestations of its aftermath. However I take this position not for the reasons that have often been stated as being for or against engagement. My position is that it is bad politics which have created needless suffering which could have been avoided. Furthermore that the implcit and explicit aims of the pro war stance has been confounded by its outcomes and will be forced to readdress the real issues which have too date been overshadowed by the false constructs of political interests.

(to be cont..)


(There has been an interesting debate about the so called 'Euston Manifesto'. Read some witty comments about this here http://hurryupharry.bloghouse.net/)
