"There was a machine designed for shredding plastic. Men were dropped into it, and we were again made to watch. Sometimes they went in headfirst and died quickly. Sometimes they went in feet first and died screaming. It was horrible. I saw 30 people die like this. Their remains would be placed in plastic bags, and we were told they would be used as fish food. ... On one occasion, I saw Qusay (Hussein, Saddam's youngest son) personally supervise these murders."

The Iraq War debate was Tony Blair's finest hour, and members of the Labour Party like Clywd stood with him. The current protests are one of the U.S. left's worst hours, with speakers at rallies repeatedly saying, "We will shut this country down." It would be far more humane to shut down Saddam.

Those against the war are making their voices heard. They should not demand to be obeyed. Democracy means rule by the people -- all the people -- including those who vote for leaders and then, prayerfully trusting them to try to do what's right, stay home.
