The micropoll and comments running in "my ealier posting":http://www.aizuddindanian.com/voi/archives/000420.html seems to show that most believe the war on Iraq was not justified even in the light of mass graves being found scattered across the country.
Well, as "Oon Yeoh sarcastically pointed out":http://www.oonyeoh.blogspot.com/2003_05_01_oonyeoh_archive.html#200303959, very few of us had any qualms about the use of NATO troops in removing "a democratically elected leader of a sovereign state":http://www.cnn.com/resources/newsmakers/world/europe/milosevic.html during the "Yugoslavian civil war":http://home.wanadoo.nl/gerard.vonhebel/yugoslavia.htm (began May 1991) on the grounds that he was a human rights violator. Even our very own "Dr Mahathir was in full support":http://www.twnside.org.sg/title/1896-cn.htm of that action back then.
Just goes to show how short some people's memories are; selective recall would be the term psychologists use. Are we really upset because the US took unilateral action in Iraq, or is it really an issue of religion?
We have few or no objections when Christians want to blow each other up, but when its Muslims who are being blown up by Christians, then we find fault.
