I don't think anyone here would disagree that the world needs to be rid of Saddam Hussien.

The disagreements as I see them seem to be centred on how and when it should be accomplished, the possible future repercussions of the course of action that has been taken, and why the decision was made to invade Iraq at this point in time.

I make my distinctions between Bush and his supporters/detractors as follows:

I believe that those who support the war do so for noble reasons including human rights, freedom and liberty. That refers to the people.

I believe that those who oppose the war (me) do so because they believe it was a premature act and that important preconditions first needed to be in place to minimise future conflicts arising in the aftermath of this one.. That refers to the people.

I believe that the real reasons for the decision to invade Iraq are not the same as the reasons being announced to the people of the world; and that agendas besides those of human rights and world security are simultaneously being persued. That specifically refers to the Bush and Blair administrations.

Now if criticism of Bush or Blair is offensive to their supporters, I can only say this - you trust them, I don't - we both have our reasons.
