I never thought I'd read this in The Independent, of all places.... This article tells the story of a young American pastor who was so oppposed to the war that he traveled to Iraq to become a human shield. He returned last week "shocked back into reality" upon learning that Iraqis want this war more than anything else.



My favorite quote from the article: "If you honestly oppose the war and think you can defend your stance to the people suffering under Saddam, dial 00964 and then guess an 11-digit number. Ask the civilians there what they want to happen. Go on. Tell them that you oppose the war, and see what they say".
