[A-List] Re: A reformulation (only five?)

Sabri:
"The issue is not whether Saddam is a great statesman or a butcher: the issue is what it means to choose Iraq over and support her
against Imperialism."

Reply:
1) The support of Iraq - is NOT the same as - support of Saddam.
Refuting imperialist 'rights' to invade Iraq - is not the same as support of Saddam.
To think and argue that it is so, I submit - is to destroy any credibility for a socialist path with those who have struggled against Sadddam in his years in power.

2) Politeness:
I would have to challenge you to find anywhere that I have been less than 'polite' to Lui. If you mean accept whatever he says, you might be correct I have failed to do that.

3) Indeed the life of a moderator is not easy!        Perhaps you mis-understood?
I was not asking for your help.
I was flagging quite distinctly, that I will not engage in this manner of switching arguments away from a distinct matter, to my racial background or  my alleged sense of grammar.
I flag that again.
And with that - I end this nonsense on my part.
