[lbo-talk] What Salam Palax thinks of the war/occupation

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

The Baghdad blogger's pseudonym is actually Salam Pax, not Salam 
Palax in the subject line.  The typo is inadvertently ironic: Salam 
Pax's first and last hope is peace; in reality, when well educated 
secular Iraqis like Salam offer peace (Salam), the USuk imperial 
coalition returns what is marketed as peace (Pax) but isn't the real 
thing (Palax, which may serve as liberal imperialists' neologism for 
pacification).

BTW, you can listen to Salam's voice at

If you were already (or were about to be) deployed in Iraq, you of 
course would.  If you were organizing for or against the foreign 
occupation of Iraq, you should.  In any case, all thinking persons, 
whatever their political persuasions, already are.
