Thanks for the ping, Pokey. I believe this is a perfect paragraph (although picking one perfect paragraph in a Mark Steyn essay is always difficult), and it bears repeating:

Got that? It's not Saddam who's the thug, it's Tony. It's not the Baathist killers from Tikrit who are the bunch of criminals, it's the Republican Party. It's not the million-man murderer of Baghdad who's the new Hitler, it's George W. Bush. It's not the Iraqi one-party state with its government-controlled media that "crushes dissent," it's the White House. It's not the Wahhabis who are the fundamentalists, it's Bush, Blair and the other Christians. It's not Osama bin Laden who's the terrorist, it's American foreign policy. Supporting the continued enslavement of the Iraqi people is "pacifist," but it's "racist" for America to disagree with the UN, even though it's Colin Powell and Condi Rice doing the disagreeing and the fellows they're disagreeing with are a bunch of white guys from Europe.

I picked the same paragraph -- it sums up my absolute frustration at the "peace" marchers -- such hypocrisy and willfull blindness (alltho' it could be, in some cases, simply ignorance or idiocy), so willing to sacrifice morals and truth on the altar of "pacifism"
