[lbo-talk] re Interesting Geras post on the "the resistance"

[Stephen E Philion]

luke quotes norm geras channeling Ali:
"These people who are advocating support for "national resistance" have 
to convince us - how will this in any way advance the causes of peace, 
democracy and social progress?"

--well, yeah, but what is Norm's option? submitting to the will of the 
coalition and accepting an illegal occupation that promises little in 
the way of real democracy or sovereignty. so, it's throw your hands up 
in surrender and hope the invaders are really the good invaders that 
the US claims it is...  By now *that* position is plainly the most 
naive one...
