2) I am an avowed socialist-utopist. That's right kids, this site is run by the Reds!
3) I am not at all a communist. Socialism is utopist. Communism is not.

"The protests also served as a platform for Democratic Party campaigning, as top politicos hobnobbed with the elite of the anti-war movement." Ahh, I love how the far-right never misses an attempt to try and link Democrats with commies, don't you?

"Closely allied with IAC is the World Workers Party, a quasi-Stalinist organization that supports authoritarian regimes and communist dictatorships." That's great. Can/do they in any way back this up? No source? Surprise!

"No mention is made of the fact that Clark, in his current occupation, has been retained by the State of Iraq to serve as legal counsel for the regime." And I wonder who Henry Kissinger is retained by these days . . . I'd forward a guess of the Devil I don't believe in, but since the man's already the living incarnation of Satan I guess that makes me wrong - twice! Wacky!

Israel ought to cut the bullshit attempts to colonize Palestine and Palestine ought to stop trying to drive the Jews (oh wait that's right the Palestinians are the real Jews ::rolls eyes::) into the sea. Are all these things not patently fucking obvious?

"Not surprisingly, criticism of Saddam Hussein is not aired at IAC/A.N.S.W.E.R.-controlled protest events." Here we come to the crux that the author simply does not get. The only way protest rallies this large work is through focusing on the primary overlap central to all the MANY different beliefs involved: no WTO, World Bank sucks, or in this case 'No War.' What each of the many subgroups thinks about American hegemony and whether there ought to be a regime change is set aside so that everybody can stand together on the one point they *DO* agree upon - that there should not be a war against Iraq.

It expressed the exact same sentiment as this current one - that Israel's continued extremely violent responses inflicted arbitrarily upon all Palestinians for the sins of a few extremists they are powerless to stop are as unjust as American violence that will arbitrarily be inflicted upon all Iraqis for the sins of a government they are powerless to overthrow.

"Frequent mention was made at the march of a "supposed holocaust," and of a "genocide" in Jenin, despite the fact that New York Times reporters allowed into the area had already discredited such reports as erroneous." Oh wow!! You mean protests attract people with far-left and/or far-right beliefs?! Who would've thought?!

"Clark said that he questioned the need to prosecute Nazis "forty years after some god-awful crime they're alleged to have committed."" IF, and I say if because this piece has been clearly full of shit thus far, this point is true - then here I disagree with Clark.

The Dems are the closest thing they have to a chance of turning the tune of American Zeitgeist even slightly in their favor. Fucking duh. If it was Republicans or Nazis they'd be supporting Republicans for the exact same reason.

"Accordingly, no outrage over Serbian ethnic cleansing or rapes will ever be heard at an IAC/A.N.S.W.E.R. rally." OK this is just ludicrous. So if I go to an IAC rally and talk to people about how the Serbian ethnic cleansing sucked . . . I'll be beaten by free-speech absolutists mayhap? Please.
