[lbo-talk] "There are gray areas in war"

[boddi satva]

"Another certainty is that there will be a "leftist" response to the
conflict, centred especially in the USA, where a mindless "taking of
sides" will be the way it is described. The throbbing heart of
"anti-Americanism" is actually in the US left which, in its so-called
innocence cannot imagine any evil in the world not connected with
their own country. Knee jerk support for the Russian point of view
will be their response, and this will not ,unfortunately, be confined
to the decaying corpse of the old Communist Party. It will be the
"common sense" of far too many in the USA (and those across the world
who imitate the US left) who have fixated on their own empire to the
exclusion of any common sense view of how states are the same the
world over. Sad but true."

Sad, but true indeed, I guess.
