Did I say that the US was not a threat? I was talking about the fears of the American people about war and terrorism.

But it is folks like you and the WWP who pose this either or politics-- you're with the anti-imperialist movement or you're with the fascists in the US. Which is just similar wording to the Bush-types, you're either with the forces of US democracy or against it.

And guess what? When the WWP and you set up that dichotomy, most folks end up with Bush.

Which is why the WWP "global class war" bullshit rhetoric is such a loser for the movement.

We need a politics that can heartily condemn both North Korean brutality and the danger of having an unelected playboy dictator playing with the bomb AND the danger of having an unelected playboy "democrat" playing with the bomb.

But the failure of the WWP-allied left to criticize Hussein and North Korea is why they end up without the credibility to make the case against Bush and company.
