The position of at least a considerable part of those demonstrating in Germany against the upcoming US-aggression against Iraq should not easily be identified with the position of the government. For many of the activists it is obvious that the SPD/Greens government is acting out of concern for the special interests of German imperialism. The German government is agreed with the US-government that disarming Iraq is a necessity. However it wants that to be done by the UN and with 'peaceful' means (including such nice activities as starving Millions of Iraqis by the UN-embargo). At present the main imperialist enemy is US-imperialism, but lots of us here know that German imperialism is only waiting to get strong enough to become as nasty. Best A.Holberg
