[lbo-talk] Qaeda at Work (was the Iraqi resistance at work)

[Doug Henwood]

Several people have pointed out that there is no single Iraqi  
resistance. True enough, but isn't that part of the problem? Most of  
the militias seem more interested in fighting each other than the  
Americans, and some of the militias are even fighting among  
themselves. How can you fight an anti-colonial war with absolutely no  
unifying themes or ideologies? You can't say Islamism is, because  
Islamists are fighting Islamists. Life after Communism is a woefully  
impoverished thing.
