Re: The Euston Manifesto

[Jim Devine <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

one signer of this "Manifesto" writes:
>I opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq. I marched against the Republican
Convention in New York in 2004. I am a blue-state liberal, and I have
reservations about some of the language in the Euston Manifesto. But I
have far stronger reservations about joining the "Bush = Hitler" crowd
and lending my tacit support to such pro-totalitarian quacks as Ramsey
Clark and George Galloway. I identify strongly with Euston's call for
a realignment of the democratic left. Again and again I've been asked
why I spend time criticizing the antiwar left while the Bush
administration is doing so much harm, domestically and
internationally. The answer is simple: Because I'm a person of the
left and I hold my side to a higher standard. So should we all, or
we're fighting for a lost cause. David R. Adler<

Huh? the only anti-war left is that of Clark or Galloway? where do
people get these ideas? the anti-war left is an extremely mixed bag,

why is the "Euston" manifesto, by the way?
