To add on:  Will it take more wars to acknowledge other atrocities such as 
things happening in Sudan, N. Korea, China, Chetchnya ?  Is the plan of the 
Administration to start wars with other countries with similar records of 
human rights violations -- to liberate them in the name of Democracy?

I read an interesting article the other day which suggested that if so many 
war protestors want peace, why aren't they doing something to help the 
victims, rather than complaining about Bush, jr.  

Additionally, why isn't our government putting pressure on countries besides 
Iraq that are knowingly hurting their own people?
