Re: U.S.-Led Coalition Shuts Down Iraq Paper
"Follow your own path, let the Americans talk!"

Last time I checked, I was classified as an American, as are thousands,
hundreds of thousands, maybe millions who demonstrate their complete
opposition to US military and economic occupation, and the possibilities
of proxy occupation.
What's the point of reproducing national/patriotic obfuscation from the
"left?"
Be that as it may, those who think there is a humanitarian reason for a
continued occupation of Iraq have to confront, and accept responsibility
for, the necessity of armed force against Iraqi resistance.
You cannot and will not have any occupation, "peacekeeping," etc.
without continued armed attacks on the occupiers, peacekeepers, etc. In
those real conditions the peacekeeping requires aggressive military
action. And the nature of such military actions is quite similar to the
nature of terrorism-- i.e. indiscriminate attacks against the general
population.
So if you're against "terror," "disorder," etc. the only rational
position is to agitate for the immediate withdrawal of occupying forces,
the payment of reparations, the release of all political/military
prisoners including Hussein.
