How I'm going to miss them. The “Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq” and their completely misleading Cambridge University crest are to morph into “Cambridge Solidarity with Iraq”. It's about fifteen years too late for most of the dead, guys. You're in good company: that was Rumsfeld's problem too. Never mind, nice to have you along for the ride—even if you were once into mass grave denial (“Whoops: wrong decade. My bad.”) and claiming that the Saddam Hussein we dug out of that hole was an unconvincing body double. I'm sure those expressing solidarity with the Iraqis will retrospectively swell over these years following their liberation, just as the ranks of la Résistance grew after that of the French.
[UPDATE: Please see my clarification.]
