Abuse - An Iraqi message

Abuse - An Iraqi message to the protesters in Trafalgar Square, via Sullivan.

One of a souk full of money quotes:

"I hated the U.N and the security council and Russia and France and Germany and the arab nations and the islamic conference.
I’ve hated George Gallawy and all those marched in the millionic demonstrations against the war .It is I who was oppressed and I don’t want any one to talk on behalf of me,
I, who was eager to see rockets falling on Saddam’s nest to set me free, and it is I who desired to die gentlemen, because it’s more merciful than humiliation as it puts an end
to my suffer, while humiliation lives with me reminding me every moment that I couldn’t defend myself against those who ill-treated me."

Sullivan says:

And today, these "anti-war" protestors campaign not against Assad or Saddam or bin Laden, but against the man who liberated these beleaguered, terrorized people. The demonstrators sicken, appall and horrify me. Whatever your views on the war, the mass graves surely made frenzied opposition moot. These useful idiots have come undone.

I quote this in part to note that Sullivan has joined me in putting "anti-war" in Ivinsian scare quotes.

Or should that be "scare quotes?"

Anyway, read the whole thing.
