The nice thing about a pre-emptive protest is it doesn't involve sending people to their death.

Saddam has made it clear that their troops would defend their country by any means necessary, even wearing civilian clothes, mixing up with the oppressed people, and fighting guerrilla wars...

You are going to have to kill a LOT of innocent people to get to Saddam. The victims are going to be the oppressed, and not the oppressor. I wonder what do the oppressed people think about that...

I can answer that. I believe the opressed people would be happy, despite the potential loss of lives of relatives and friends.

Why do I think this? I've a lot of friends and 'in-laws' who survived a genocidal regieme and think exactly this.

the really hilarious thing is your wrong. war protestors can't protest a future war? why not? chimp has claimed his lack of patience will cause it and mostly they are protesting his idiocy. back to am radio for you.
