Re: Who the hell is Jack Duvall?
Yep, totally agree, as I think anyone on this list would. But in the
interests of the broader movement I think we have to draw a line between
imperialists-in-sheep's-clothing and radical pacifists in the AJ Muste
tradition, condemning the former but keeping the latter on board.
I think these kids have indeed been duped, but not irredeemably. They've
just been misled by a slick propagandist, and I hope to be able to expose
him as a way of getting them back on the right path.

I am sorry I cannot answer directly as to Duvall, but this kind of
"pacifism" is a noxious disease and should be treated as such. For the
movement the looming question should not be about plotting various ways
to get rid of Saddam--that this has become an obsession in some quarters
is purely, 100% a function of American propaganda as part of the war
hype. There are some duped people who are unconsciously but nevertheless
objectively reinforcing the reactionaries.
