No, you are not missing anything. The kind of communist party that would join with the u.s. is a party of careerists and (as Lou says) Quislings whose only relationship to the communist tradition is to spit on it. One of the things many of us in the movement against the first Gulf War argued even at that time was that the U.S. aggression against Iraq meant that there were only two futures for Iraq: A government opposed to u.s. interests or a government supported by permnanent u.s. occupation. We were only partly right. We underestimated the heroism and determination of the Iraqi people. There is only one possible future for Iraq. Carrol
