[lbo-talk] Norman Geras on the morality of the just war.

[Stephen E Philion]

liberal 'marxist' norm geras:
George Galloway denies any distinction between war and what some of us 
call  terrorism, other than that one is ordered 'by men in suits', the 
other 'by  men in sandals'. And so blowing up a bus full of 
schoolchildren isn't  terrorism, it's just 'a grisly aspect' of 
revolutionary insurgency.

--yet Galloway is correct, after all Geras doesn't call dropping bombs 
on civilians (by accident of course it's always by 
accident) 'terrorism'...so what gives?  Is Geras saying that the 
schoolchildren were targets btw? he must have some pretty good 
intelligence agents on the ground in Iraq these days...
