Lets keep in mind that the largest global protests in recorded history on anti-war was the anti-invasion of Iraq in 2003. When Galloway went to Iraq he actually had huge global support.

Anyone old enough and interested enough to remember the military coup that brought Saddam to power in Iraq, were also aware that this was implemented by the CIA for engineered regime change.

During the build up to war on Iraq, western corporate media didn’t once mention that the CIA had formerly, back in 1963, aided and abetted mass murder, mass imprisonment, torture and the successful assassination of Qasim.

The United States went on to help Saddam win the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. According to Noam Chomsky, There were no passionate calls for a military strike after Saddam's gassing of Kurds at Halabja in March, 1988; on the contrary, the US and U.K. extended their strong support for the mass murderer, then, also 'our kind of guy' (Iraq and the UN Sanctions, The Economist, Nov.19 1994, p.47) but they used it to try and gain global support when they wanted another regime change and they wanted that regime change because Saddam wasn't playing ball.

Whilst I believe Saddam was a ruthless dictator, I also understand Bush and Blair to be equally if not more evil and for those reasons I can fully understand why George Galloway said the things he said and did the things he did.
