[edit] Expantion
This should be expanded to include "Anti-Iraq War" people such as Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Janeane Garofalo, Conor Oberst, and Gore Vidal.
- Maybe, but if so this should be a seperate category, not an addition to this one. And it should be a subcategory of the existing category, Anti-war people. Kalkin 22:38, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] subcategory of Peace organizations
I think this should remain a subcategory of peace organizations, for fairly obvious reasons. However, I also think that, in a special-case violation of Wikipedia:Categorization guidelines, articles in this category can also be acceptably listed in the category Peace organizations, because many of them have been or are involved in a number of peace activities other than opposition to the Iraq War, and so it would be misleading to categorize them as solely Anti-Iraq War groups. For example, Vietnam Veterans Against the War is much better known for Vietnam-era activities, so it would be strange if the only categorization on its page were as anti-Iraq War. However, it is, in fact, now opposed to the Iraq War, so it would be equally strange to leave it off that list. I'm just explicitly justifying apparent existing practice.

[edit] Anti-Iraq Something
Are these war groups really anti-Iraq? —Wookipedian 04:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- The name does kind of imply that they are "war groups" who oppose Iraq rather then groups who oppose the Iraq war. Remove the - ?--JK the unwise 07:11, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- My suggestion might be to flip the phrase around — something like "Groups against the Iraq war". —Wookipedian 07:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
