After we have pointed and laughed at the weekend “Anti-War” demonstrations held under the ANSWER umbrella, Christopher Hitchens soberly reminds us of what the objects of our ridicule are really aiming for…
"International ANSWER," the group run by the "Worker's World" party and fronted by Ramsey Clark, which openly supports Kim Jong-il, Fidel Castro, Slobodan Milosevic, and the "resistance" in Afghanistan and Iraq, with Clark himself finding extra time to volunteer as attorney for the génocidaires in Rwanda. Quite a "wide range of progressive political objectives" indeed, if that's the sort of thing you like.And notes what they really do not care about....
It is really a disgrace that the liberal press refers to such enemies of liberalism as "antiwar" when in reality they are straight-out pro-war, but on the other side. Was there a single placard saying, "No to Jihad"? Of course not. Or a single placard saying, "Yes to Kurdish self-determination" or "We support Afghan women's struggle"? Don't make me laugh.Suddenly, I’m not laughing.
BTW, Cindy Sheehan has been arrested. The show must go on.
