[Marxism] Slight tinge of conscience in warmongering blogs

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Harry's Place:
"Those of use who supported the war should question our decision to 
do so every day. To support a war whilst remaining ignorant of the 
direct cost paid by others is an uncomfortable position in which to 
find oneself, yet until our governments undertake to conduct their 
own investigation into post-invasion mortality rates in Iraq, this is 
precisely where we are. An inability to quantify the level of 
sacrifice made by Iraqis undermines our moral legitimacy as 
supporters of the war. An unwillingness by the coalition to undertake 
such an exercise displays a contempt for the dead that shames us all."

"Even so, I am bound to acknowledge that, though I never expected an 
<http://normblog.typepad.com/normblog/2004/05/reply_to_tim_bu.html>easy 
sequel in Iraq, much less a 'cakewalk', I did not anticipate a 
failure on this scale, and had I done so, I would have withheld 
support for the war without giving my voice to the opposition to it."
