Who was right? Anti-War supporters “simple minded”?
Written by Mark Harris on February 24th, 2005According to a Times (UK) article, one of the founders of Labour Against The War has just resigned from the group over the changing (read: improving) situation in Iraq. Usually liberals hate to admit they were wrong, but this guy seems more than honest about it.
Mr Barnes accused the anti-war movement of offering a “one-sided” view of life in Iraq, endlessly repeating the 100,000 casualty estimate produced in an analysis of deaths caused by the conflict, published in the academic journal The Lancet.
“That analysis said it could be anything between 2,000 and 198,000,” he said. “Some things are just over-the-top and simple-minded.”
That’s some pretty harsh criticism, lets hope that on this side of the pond some of our anti-war whackos are listening, but I doubt it.
