"Critical solidarity" has perhaps devolved to 99.99% criticism of
foreign governments and movements and 0.01% solidarity with
foreigners.  :->

When we had a little discussion about our shares of political
responsibility for what's happening in Iraq, the only LBO-talk member
who stood up to claim responsibility was Ravi, an Indian man, the rest
insisting that their "hands are clean."  Just as many multinationals
have outsourced jobs to India, China, etc., maybe US leftists have to
outsource political responsibility to foreigners: hire foreigners to
hold candles for dead US soldiers!  :-|
