So? Anti-bombing is anti-bombing. Because the Rockford Inst. argues against bombing, bombing is right? I say good on the Rockford institute. The type of Christianity promoted by the Rockford Inst. and other American groups is probably different from the orthodox Serbian church. Sometimes right wingers hit the truth or embrace the strongest ethical position. Sometimes crackpot rightists like pat Robertson use left oriented research in their work. Robertson used Larry Shoup and Holly Sklar. Murray Rothbard and a lot of libertarians opposed the Vietnam war. Good. The more people opposing the war, the better.
The report you posted below cites Le Monde and Le Figaro, the BBC, Radio France International and Die Welt. These are fairly credible sources as far as the mass media goes. Le Monde especially has a reputation as a left wing newsheet; a genuine anti-imperialist paper that sometimes prints columns by Chomsky and Said. I know. I subscribe to it.
