Reply #181: I remember a huge group of us who were reading the info about forged [View All]

documents and all the Press from Great Britain and UN which questioned whether Saddam had WMD. Also we had threads for weeks with Robert Byrd's speaches from the Senate floor urging us not to go into Iraq.

It was a huge movement here on DU where we supported each other by going to demonstrations locally and in DC BEFORE the invasion. I would say it was hundreds of DU'ers who didn't believe the WMD and we were a smaller board at that time.

Maybe here on DU one tends to read only the posts fellow DU'ers who agree with them, but I remember the time very differently than you.

It's okay, I'm not criticizing you, but just remember that time differently. I was so glad I was here on DU because there was so much support for research and for forwarding information about the truth about No WMD that it was like being in a "hive" where we were all working together to expose the truth.

Also so many of us sitting up a couple of nights on here e-mailing the UN Ambassadors from France and Germany urging them to not give Bush/Blair authority to go into Iraq. Move On. org. had petitions that they delivered to UN by the box load, too.

It was an interesting time with so many of us determined and dedicated to stopping that invasion.
