An antifascist war

[cema]

A friend leaned across a bar and said, "You call the war in Iraq an antifascist war. You even call it a left-wing war—a war of liberation. That language of yours! And yet, on the left, not too many people agree with you."

I am glad I do not have to serve drinks in this journal, anyhow. :-)

What a wonderful article! Not because I agree with what he writes, no - as you might have expected, I do not!

It is wonderful, because he articulates his positions so clearly and so precisely that it is a pleasure to argue with him (even if I would be using your LJ as the proxy).

I have serious comments to all points he is making, and some more points I can add to his. Would you rather have me post them here or shut up? (=:

Sure, go ahead.

His article was not in a blog, so there is little room for comments there. LJ, on the other hand, fits nicely to the discussion mode. The only drawback is its fleeting time-based nature.
