IF YOU READ THE MOTHER FUCKING ARTICLES YOU WOULD SEE:
This was no accident, for the demonstration was essentially organized by the Workers World Party, a small political sect that years ago split from the Socialist Workers Party to support the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. The party advocates socialist revolution and abolishing private property. It is a fan of Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba, and it hails North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il for preserving his country’s “socialist system,” which, according to the party’s newspaper, has kept North Korea “from falling under the sway of the transnational banks and corporations that dictate to most of the world.” The WWP has campaigned against the war-crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. A recent Workers World editorial declared, “Iraq has done absolutely nothing wrong.”
Officially, the organizer of the Washington demonstration was International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). But ANSWER is run by WWP activists, to such an extent that it seems fair to dub it a WWP front. Several key ANSWER officials — including spokesperson Brian Becker — are WWP members. Many local offices for ANSWER’s protest were housed in WWP offices. Earlier this year, when ANSWER conducted a press briefing, at least five of the 13 speakers were WWP activists. They were each identified, though, in other ways, including as members of the International Action Center.
The IAC, another WWP offshoot, was a key partner with ANSWER in promoting the protest. It was founded by Ramsey Clark, attorney general for President Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s. For years, Clark has been on a bizarre political odyssey, much of the time in sync with the Workers World Party. As an attorney, he has represented Lyndon LaRouche, the leader of a political cult. He has defended Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic and Pastor Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, who was accused of participating in the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. Clark is also a member of the International Committee To Defend Slobodan Milosevic. The international war-crimes tribunal, he explains, “is war by other means” — that is, a tool of the West to crush those who stand in the way of U.S. imperialism, like Milosevic. A critic of the ongoing sanctions against Iraq, Clark has appeared on talking-head shows and refused to concede any wrongdoing on Saddam’s part. There is no reason to send weapons inspectors to Iraq, he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: “After 12 years of brutalization with sanctions and bombing they’d like to be a country again. They’d like to have sovereignty again. They’d like to be left alone.”Comment

Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin attend the Yalta Conference
enemy of my enemy is my friend. clark was working FOR saddam and he still is.rumsfeld never was. since you like pictures how about these from the white house? all taken after the fact years later :
President Bill Clinton holds a White House meeting with People's Liberation Army General Zhang Wannian, whose 15th Airborne paratroopers mowed down Chinese civilians during the June 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. This photo ran in Chinese newspapers, helping rehabilitate the image of the "butchers of Beijing."
People's Liberation Army General Chi Haotian (left) and U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen (right) celebrate a toast; Chinese General Xiong Guangkai (behind Cohen, partially obscured) looks on. The hard-line Chi and Xiong both played pivotal roles in the brutal Tiananmen Square massacre.

But I guess according to your logic, it's okay for the U.S. Government to be in bed with Saddam when it's CONVENIENT for US! But when Kofi's son, the French, or Russians, or Saddam's lawyer allegedly are!...Well, holy hell...Aren't they a bunch of corrupt bastards with an agenda!? It's just another blatant double-standard that attempts to justify our rogue actions with a phoney moral dimension.Comment

What is your point?
The war is a good thing because a few anti-War protesters are Socialists/Communists? Do I even trust this guys information?
Have you read the articles on the troops killed today? The articles on how the Neocons see fit to attack Syria and imply the insurgency is all the Syrians fault now even though the Military knows they have few actual "foriegn fighters."Comment

Even the Nazis deserved a fair trial before we deservedly killed them. Besides, this guy usually loses. So what's your point? We should just kill everybody like Stalin said after WWII? Yes he's an opportunist douchebag (he' a lawyer), but that's not the point!

By the way, this war has made it difficult to do much about the little cunt North Korean President-for-Life.
And despite radical or nonsensical opinions, the Anti-War Movement has one far less harm to our interests than the 'Pro-War' movement has done.Last edited by Nickdfresh; 12-21-2004, 07:08 PM.Comment
