Then the question is begged....
If not the saving of lives, what would "their" motivation possibly be in wanting to stop the war?
Do you think it possible that even the most rabid of liberals would be against the "democratization" of Iraq (or anywhere else for that matter) if there were no price tag in terms of death and human suffering?
I just don't get this obsession with motivation - how can you discount a
good thing (wanting to save human lives) by attaching a negative motivation? I can understand a difference of opinion based on an understanding of the facts and costs of war, but debating each other's motivations for those opinions seems completely unproductive.
