It’s time for “the mass of antiwar protesters” to learn a lesson in realism from the Iraq sanctions and war: the existence of a government and citizens’ welfare under it are not separate issues. It’s the government that is responsible for welfare of citizens who live under it, from security to nutrition, sanitation to education, in any country where a modern government exists. Destroy a government, and citizens under it will suffer, deprived of what the government has provided them with.
Who’s the audience for this homily? What antiwar activists were
unaware of the damaging effects of sanctions?
