Maybe John Rees and the Becker brothers should pull out all the stops
and organize mass demonstrations around the slogan No War on ISIS.
After all, they saved Assad's neck last year. ;-)

Maybe they should do more than this. Here are some suggestions:
1. They should explain that ISIS is not really besieging and killing the
Yazdi and other minorities, nor committing all those other terrible
crimes that the imperialists are so wrongly accusing them of; they
should show that in reality, it is the US-backed Kurds or US-backed
Maliki regime that in fact are killing the Yazdi as part of a black-ops
to make ISIS look bad to get the US to intervene. Maybe Seymour Hersh
could do some investigating for them, via his alleged contacts in high
places
2. They should explain that even if ISIS is doing some of these things,
they have no choice, they are forced to do this because while they
simply attempt to run their legitimate state, the US has been arming the
Maliki regime and the Kurds to launch a brutal insurgency against the
ISIS regime (and unlike the accusation against the FSA, which never got
nothing from the US, in this case it would be factually true)
3. They should explain that the reason for this is that, while ISIS may
not be perfect from a working class point of view, it has thumbed its
nose at imperialism, so socialists must defend it against these other
forces acting as imperialism's cats-paws.
