Fight alongside Kurds, I guess -- I can't imagine any true pwog advocating
fighting alongside Ba'athists. And besides, none of our campus Leninists are
gonna pick up a rifle anytime soon.

The last ALB-type operation was in Nicaragua. But there, one had something
to fight for. In Iraq, unless one sided with anti-Saddam guerrillas, there
was only regime defense, which, at this point, is fairly moot.
