Nick Cohen: Anti-war lobby “threat to democratic Iraq”

The ever-brilliant Nick Cohen writes in today’s Observer about the anti-war lobby’s antipathy to Iraq’s democratic opposition. While I remain resolutly against this war, I agree completely with Cohen: an anti-war movement that fails to come up with a coherent message on what does need to be done about the tyranny of Saddam has only done half of the job. If you can’t present a viable alternative to what is clearly a problem, you’re going to lose in the long run.
