On the contrary, I would even go so far as to make appeal to those who supported Obama for their illusions -- as during the election campaign in the first place -- that the best way to bring their ideas to fruit is to join in the street protests against not a person, but against the imperialist policy of the US government, of its NATO, other governments etc. Not "I told you so", but "here is where you can get what you wanted, if you want to be faithful to what Obama had said (in your understanding)". > The issue is not Obama, the issue is imperialism, and the top imperialist > moster which humanity has known, US imperialism. > The war by which the US empire tries to stop its decline. > > Occupation troops out of Afghanistan! is the slogan. > > And lets assemble in the streets to shout that out to the world to hear. There is room for the "real Obamaists" (if they exist) in the demonstration against the war. If there is contradiction, let it be _their_ contradiction.
