Really? Here's what Gautam wrote: "International ANSWER, the group primarily responsible for organizing the anti-war protests in the United States, is a Stalinist organiation that is actively pro-Saddam. They were all wrong." How can you read that as saying that ANSWER is behind specific people participating in specific demonstrations? The problems that I see in the statement are: 1. It is factually wrong. ANSWER is not primarily responsible for organizing war protests. ANSWER's goal is to try to coordinate the primary organizers, most of whom are local. There are many, many organizations, with various missions, beliefs and ideologies, who organize peace and justice events. 2. It is McCarthyist in its guilt-by-distant-association with WWP. ANSWER is not Stalinist. Nick _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
