I am opposed to a war on Iraq. I don't like war. I don't want to see any innocent civilians get killed. I don't want to put our soldiers into harm's way unnecessarily. All I want is regime change in Iraq. Why should that entail violence? Please, can't we pacifists do something to persuade Saddam to resign and surrender peacefully before he leaves us no other choice but to go in there and kick the shit out of him?

Saudi Arabia recalled its ambassador to Britain, the one who caused a fuss several months ago by publishing a poem praising a suicide bomber.
