, but I'll take your word for it.
Frankly, you make sweeping generalizations about the peace movement and anyone who disagrees with you position on the subject, and then become vitriolic when someone questions your view.
Equating
everyone who opposes this war with someone who would defend Saddam's regime is no more valid than those who point out the connections between Bush/Cheney/et al., the oil industry, and Iraq.
There are peace demonstrators who resort to violence in the cause of peace. I will resist the temptation to compare that to a war to prevent war (or a greater war), and simply point out that there are "patriots" who have killed innocent Arabs (and shiks, who are not even of Arab extraction) in their rage over 9/11.
There are morons on all sides of the political spectrum. If you start trying to play a guilt by association game, you run the risk of being painted with the same brush.
