[lbo-talk] Fw: Re: ANSWER's answer on Iraq

What's wrong?  The stupid binary idea of a "unified Iraqi people" 
rising up against the US.  It's classic WWP binary analysis-- there are 
two sides and only two sides in every conflict, there are no mediating 
interests, no complications.  Ex-Baathists, Al Qaeda-allied jihadists, 
and Iraqi Shiite fundamentalists are all the same, all anti-imperialist 
fighters on the same side.

--actually it doesn't sound that much different from what most reports 
are telling us at the moment, though it differs from the military 
sponsored reports of sunni-shiite hatred, division,...

and it's odd to hear nathan attacking answer for black-white arguments 
given his rather black white view of 'slavery' in china and the need to 
stop trade with china (or threaten them with stopping trade)...
