RAWA forthrightly CONDEMNED the war, publicly and repeatedly.  It also
condemned, publicly and repeatedly, US support for the "Northern Alliance."

A segment of the left was indeed championing this group, whose vision was an
alternative to BOTH U.S. imperialism on the one hand and the Taliban and
al-Qaeda on the other.  Could it be this that bothers Louis?
