That is totally irrelevant. The Green Party had a leader, Fischer, who
banned discussion about the war, declaring it a "moral imperative" or
something almost exactly the same. Once the party did not call an emergency
no-confidence vote in Joshka (or whatever form that would take in their
party program/constitution), they lost all respectability and became
accomplises to Imperialism. There might be a lot of things a struggling left
party may be excused for while fighting inside a bourgeois parliament, but
Imperialist war against sovereign states is never, in any circumstances,
something included in that. Nothing else could provide a clearer dividing
line.
