As usual the attacks on the Worker Communist Party of Iraq are getting out

That got my attention, so I had a look through the debate (itâs all on the
Green Left list). The WCP-I says that âThe Iraqi communists must fight
against both these two poles of terrorism; the USA and political Islamâ and
that the Left âshould build an armed resistance but not join the armed
resistance conducted by Islamists.â

I must apologise. I confused the WCPI with the ICP, who collaborated with the 
occupation by taking a seat on the interim governing council. That said, upon 
checking their website, their policy of calling for a separate resistance 
movement to that consisting of former Baathists and Islamists is of course 
divisive and potentially weakening to the resistance as a whole. 

A united, broad front made up of all the various political and religious 
factions in Iraq can prevail. Anything else, by definition, plays right into 
the 
hands of US imperialism.
