I recall hearing from Bush and his people about the plight of Kurds, women, minorities that would be helped by "liberating" Iraq.

The more the anti-war movement picked up steam, the more they relied on this rhetoric.

And that's what this ultimately comes down to.... A re-hash of the old "liberation" of this-or-that-country war propaganda.
