Dear Steve,
I did not know that Eric Margolis is a vegan. If that's so, I
commend him for that, but I still think he should stop writing nasty things
about the Serbs.
I just have the feeling that posting his articles on Antiwar.com gives
people the false impression that he is a peacenik, since Antiwar.com is
a site for anti-war activists. But in point of fact, he is not really
anit war, or anti imperialist. As one other person on this list pointed
out, he's only against war and imperialism against Muslims. Did somebody
on this list say that he is a Muslim himself? If so, then of course
he has a personal interest in not seeing his fellow Muslims attacked, but
in my opinion, a true peace activist is against any war or imperialism
against ANY ethnicity, as a matter of principle. Margolis seems to
think that war and imperialism against Slavs is okay.
Peacefully yours,
Nancy Hey

But Nancy, Margolis is a vegan! And he would never countenance the sending
of chickens to Afghanistan.
Still, you may be right. At the same time we prevail upon antiwar.com
to blacklist Margolis, maybe we can get them to stop posting Pat Buchanan
and Justin Raimondo. Surely there are people on the Left (and not Chomskyites,
Trotskyites, social democrats, anarchists, world socialists, libertarian
socialists, third-way Marxists, progressives and Blairites) who are making
the same points on Afghanistan, Iraq, and so on. Better yet, maybe some
of them are vegans. How about Alexander Cockburn? Or does he work for the
CIA?
Another idea: Being an unrepentant ovolacto vegetarian (yes, I do drink
milk: mea culpa), I think my writing should be posted before any of those
other guys. After all, who needs ideas, when you have the right political
loyalties (and diet)?
Steve

My sentiments exactly! How can we get Antiwar.com to see this
point?

Well said Rick. Please, let's not give this bastard
any more exposure than he already gets, or even the thinest veneer of credibilty.
Margolis is a CIA-KLA terrorist who happens to use a typewriter to kill
people. His words do not belong on this list. One slight correction. He
is with the Toronto Sun, not the Toronto Star.

Dear Friends,
For anyone not already acquainted with
the fact, Eric Margolis is a Western disinformation
agent who boasts, inter alia, of smuggling rockets
into the Afghan mujahedin in the 1980s and possessing
a host of intelligence contacts, including with the
CIA.
A quick Google search with the words "Eric Margolis
socialism" will demonstrate with whom we're dealing.
There is nothing remotely enlightened or progressive
about this individual, notwithstanding the fact that
his columns, from the very establishment Toronto Star
where he is the official foreign correspondent, have
been crossposted and linked on several US
'progressive' sites fairly regularly of late.
In fact, the only time he criticizes Western
militarism, aside from goading it into being more
aggressive (e.g. "Stopping Europe's New Nazis" and
"Serbia Needs Moral Cleansing"), is when one of his
presumed co-religionists is under fire.
As such he operates on a personal, and hardly
political or principled, agenda.
Other people are making the same points he is on
Afghanistan, Iraq and so forth; there's no need to
provide this enemy of ours with more exposure and
authority than his contacts in the intelligence
community have already succeeded in doing.
Respectfully,
Rick
