Actually, Armand, I think it would have been a huge mistake to impose
some kind of "solidarity" litmus test on a demonstration against
intervention in Central America. If anything, my opposition to
demonstrations identifying politically with some regime under attack
from US imperialism is a remnant of what I learned in the SWP. This is
true whether the regime is benign like the FSLN or rather seedy like
Saddam Hussein's. The only reason I mentioned CISPES and groups like the
Nicaragua Network is that I thought that it would have been imperative
to involve them in the decision-making process in order for them to be
properly motivated. Their relationship to the Washington demo called by
the PAM was essentially passive.
