ALL those who marched in London opposing war with Iraq should think themselves lucky they were able to voice their opinion by taking to the streets.
In Baghdad they would have been in fear of their lives if protesting against Saddam's government.
People talk about how Churchill liberated Europe from Hitler but do not recall the years before the war, when he put his career on the line by trying to make Britain and Europe recognise the threat. Had he been listened to, he could have changed the course of history. There might not have been the Second World War or Auschwitz. But people called him a war-monger rather than face the truth.
We are in the same position today. Will we again ignore the warnings?
