>>Yet Henry Liu thinks we ought just to accept Saddam's butchery<<

I think what Henry is upset about is the tendency towards social
imperialism, I mean some socialists in imperialists countries, to
"differentiate" themselves from someone who is, at most, a piker compared to
their own rulers in terms of "butchery." The real butcher of Baghdad is
Bush, not Saddam.

This constant harping about Saddam and his (alleged) crimes is entirely
unhealthy, unhelpful and totally besides the point. The battle has been
joined. The question is, quite simply, which side are you on: you are either
with the Anglo-American imperialist pirates or with the Arabs, the iraqis,
with Saddam. There is no third camp.
