RE: [Marxism] SWP: "U.S. troops consolidate victory in Fallujah"

["Walter Lippmann" <walterlx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Steve Gabosch - 

No progress seems to be taking place in this discussion.

I keep on wondering where your sympathies lie in today's
Iraq. With the foreign armies of occupation, or with the
resistance to that occupation, by whatever means it feels
are available to it under conditions of its occupation?
Back in the early eighties, the SWP used to criticize the
movement against nuclear weapons. Their indignant retort
was: "what about concrete wars which are actually going on?"

Well, the assault on Falloujah is a concrete war which is
actually going on. 

You should take a moment to consider what Saul Landau is
saying as he compares the bombardment of Falloujah with
Guernica. Really. The comparison is quite well-taken.
