If I were Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Uruguay, dozens of socialist movements, every
conceivable social movement and left political tendency, from the PT all the
way to a huge contingent of esperanto proselytisers and anarcho punks, I'd
be insulted and distressed that I was compared, in terms of uplift and
inspiration, with Iraq. Has Bush's planned aggression really turned that
thug state into a member of the resistance?
