LINK: The Observer comes out in favor of war with Iraq--kind of:
"Those risks must be set against potentially huge prizes. In London last month, Iraqi opposition groups united around a platform of a federal, democratic state. These people deserve support from those who propound similar values in the West. The overwhelming majority of the Iraqi people would regard Saddam's removal as liberation, pure and simple."
I think this very cogently summarizes the liberal argument for war with Iraq. And something for the "anti-war" crowd to contemplate-- that one of Britain's largest Left papers comes out swinging for the good of the Iraqi people.

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
