American hating leftists? I for one have NOT said anything that is hateful
of the US. I have indeed criticized its government's foreign policy
particularly when it comes to overthrowing DEMOCRATICALLY elected
governments (ie: Arbenz in Guatemala and Allende in Chile) among other
things. Furthermore I have indeed been very critical of the Bush
Administration's drive to launch a war of aggression against Iraq. To me
there is a lot of similarity between Iraq's invasion of Kuwait back in 1990
and the war Bush et al are pushing for today.

The problem with some of the pro-war crowd is they are fanatics when in
comes to political correctness. Anyone dare's to say anything blatantly or
remotely negative about US policy and sure as hell there are people like you
extremely eager to label that person as being anti-American.

More of your narrow minded bullshit.

If I am anti-American then by the same reasoning you are nothing more than
an establishment apparatchik with a very myopic view of the US, one that
gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling, and is only made worse by the rose-coloured
glasses you look through.

And even more your silly bullshit.

You seem to be dreadfully unwilling to acknowledge that most of the anti-war
movement does not want Iraq to have these WMD's. That they do indeed realize
what kind of bastard Saddam Hussien really is. They do not think that a war
is the best means to rectify the situation and they have come out in the
millions all over the world.

When you shove your anti-left blathering up your arse...sideways...then
perhaps you and I can make a little progress discussing this issue.
