If "NO WAR" protests had taken place in 1980, then we would not need them today. In 1980, Iraq invaded Iran. No war protests. Why, because of racism? As long as they are Muslims, semites killing semites, it is okay, no "anti-war" protests. Saddam invaded Iraq for one reason in 1980. Oil. This was truly "Blood for Oil". Where were the "NO blood for OIL" protests then? If Iraq had succeeded in wresting Khuzestan from Iran, then it would have had more oil than Saudi Arabia, and controlled 20% of the world output. That was the goal of Saddam. More oil. Then it was Kuwait's turn. No protests. Why NO protests? Not enough "suffering for the Iraqi people"? How about a protest after say.... 50,000 dead? 100,000 dead? How about when Iraqi missiles hit Tehran. Saddam fired 200 missiles at the capital of Iran. When rumor began that he was filling the rockets with chemical warheads.... One MILLION people left Tehran. But no "NO WAR" protests?? We wouldn't have a war question in 2003, if people would have just shown so much concern from 1980 to 1988. NOT ONE "NO to WAR" march with over 1000 people.
