I tend to agree with what you write here. There was also the very curious correct spelling of Kucinich's difficult last name but the obvious misspellings of "Barach" (confused with Spinoza?) and "Hilary," not mention that the latter did not warrant a last name.
But I also despair for a left that continually makes arguments based on the categories of international law: "War Criminal" (capitalized even) and "murderous" in a single sentence, in your case. This is Chomsky's whole schtick, no? International law is the same structure that helps guarantee the capitalist world order. Do you really think you can appeal to it for liberation from capitalism?
