That's cool - I respect people more for being honest about what they believe in. It just has made me queasy personally that so many of the hard radical Marxist groups were so amazingly organized to protest any military action by the U.S. within days of 9/11. How could they have been SO organized in their opposition while most other people were still reeling from the events? I fully admit to not understanding all the nuances and complexities of these groups but in my simplistic mind, I suppose, I am baffled by these particular peace groups being so organized against a U.S. war when the countries who have adopted their own doctrines have been known in recent history as the most murderous, bloody and inhumane going back to Lenin. Where were their protests against violations of human rights all those years? Someone who says they are antiwar without adding on a particular political agenda seems more uncompromised to me. As I read back on the Kosovo thread from 1999, I did notice that there was complete consistency in being opposed to war then and now from Colin, Fred and Randy, regardless of political doctrines.
