You mean you don't want to believe it because perhaps you unlike most of the Anti-war bunch have a conscience. I would hope so anyway. Some of us are pro-war because, amongst other things, we do believe the very many credible witnesses to the Iraqi Regime's barbarity.
That's why I for one have no empathy, in this case for the peace activists. They are essentially accessories to these abominable crimes against humanity. I can't understand that cold calculating indifference, whether it hides behind religion or pacifism.
