Re: [Marxism] National Assembly call for March 21 is important positive step

I said what a few are "accused of doing" and NO it is totally not  
acceptable to target al Qaeda or Taliban or any collective group!

But that's the excuse Bush, Obama et al are using to do just that!  
You are ignoring my whole statement!

Didn't I say at the end of the first paragraph: "Imperialist,  
Capitalist War is collective
punishment of the innocent for the supposed crimes of the few!"

Please don't imply that the U.S. is just hunting down and killing the  
"guilty".
