| Those protestors oppose using war as anything but a last resort, they arn't defending dictators. The Iraq war was also similtaneously about supposed democratic governments going against what the majority of its citizens wanted, meaning the government were corrupting democracy.
And mooooooosssssssstttt of all they were protesting because they knew full well that the primary motives of actions against Iraq were not baed upon giving the Iraqi people a democratic government, but were for very different reasons. Just listen to the politicians prior to the war. They tacked freedom for the iraqi's after their ten minutes of "iraq has huge stockpiles of WMD, and they're pointed at YOU!" or "we have clear evidence of a connection between Saddam and Al Quida. Now imagine if just one vial of his nerve gas was on one of those planes..." (there is of course a connection between al quida and saddam, a big one, they tried to assassinate him twice)
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
