I am here because I think it was a terrible sin of the west to allow those years of war.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I want to tell you that I think this war is a great mistake.
I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the war, but I could not. The North was mad and blind, would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came.
Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.
We who came here saw what was happening. This was far more than a war in a faraway place. This was a moral imperative, a terrible vision of the future.
I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war, which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.
In July of 2004, I came out strongly against the war with Iraq because it was going to destabilize the Middle East.
The West was a wonderful world to me. I decided then that if this is the way they did things, then I wanted to be part of it.
I was very much in favor of the Iraq invasion.
I can't find a reason to be for this war. I've looked, and I can't, so I'm not.
It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.
