There is not a single political issue today that has one unified opinion. Our great democracy allows for the diversity of opinion. Without this diversity, our democracy would not exist. The current nationwide "leadership" heading up the Anti-War on Iraq "movement", I am sorry to say, cannot be considered the "other side," simply because it adopted this antiwar on Iraq stance, due to its long rooted hate of our country, our democracy, and our freedom. Ironically, it is some of that same freedom which allows them to "protest" in the first place. This group includes major elements of the Communist/Socialist agenda, the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel platform, and pro-terrorist rhetoric. Also included are some individuals associated with and part of the Democratic Party of the U. S., as well as other persons of racist, anti-Semitic, or terrorist natures.
The first and foremost voice of this group is "Act Now to Stop War and End Racism", better known as ANSWER. It might claim to be some "peace" group, but the fact is that it is a group which serves as a vanguard organization of the Communist Workers World Party. How do I know this? Just look at their page of endorsements and you see that it is full of communist organizations, and its leadership and platform is identical to the Communist Party of the USA. It is an organization which supports terrorism, dictatorship, and the violent overthrow of our government. They are not peace activists, but war activists. They can be classified as militant activists who want nothing but the destruction of the democratic institutions of the United States and other freedom-minded countries.
Just look at some of the propaganda by their speakers at last month's rally in Washington DC. Here is one by Imam Mussa:
"The President wants to talk about a terrorist named bin Laden. I don't want to talk about bin Laden. I want to talk about a terrorist called George Washington. I want to talk about a terrorist called Rudy Guiliani. The real terrorists have always been the United Snakes of America."
ANSWER is part of the same group of communist organizations that supported Stalin, Milosevic, Khomeini, and now Saddam Hussein. They support terrorist leaders and therefore support terrorist actions. The same terrorist actions which have and continue to cause the deaths of women and children in Israel. The same terrorist actions which have caused the deaths of Israeli teens in discotheques, and the SAME terrorist actions of September 11 2001. There is no reason they should have support from a true American. They are currently using the pretext of Iraq to further their violent agenda, to attract attention, and to INCREASE their monetary stash. They are against our country. They hate our country. And yet they are seen attractively by most of the 'antiwar on Iraq' lobby.
There are also some Democratic Party members who have taken part and continue in such anti-American activity. These include people such as Charles Baron, a NY City Councilman and former Black Panther who said, "If you're looking for the Axis of Evil, then look inside the belly of this beast." He also called America's businessmen "monopoly capitalists" (typical communist propaganda). Other Democrats present include Al Sharpton, Cynthia McKinney, Charles Rangel, and John Conyers.
By getting involved with the Anti-War on Iraq agenda, you should be aware of who is leading it. ANSWER is an anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Democratic organization that hates freedom and democracy. Supporting their cause against a War on Iraq, makes you part of that. Remember that, when you wave your flag or post their flyers.
Another organization, which I have also seen on campus, is the American Free Press (AFP). The AFP has put up some flyers around concerning Iraq and Israel, and it has also been advertised as a "news source" of getting information regarding Iraq, on some of their antiwar flyers. Do you know what the AFP is? It is an organization which has roots in anti-Semitism, racism, and fascism. It has a neo-Nazi as its editor who was the editor-in-chief for a white-supremacist group's newsletter, called The Liberty Lobby. When it broke up, their editor in chief helped start up the AFP. That explains their anti-Israel and anti-Semitic policy. That explains their opposition to war with Iraq. And that is why anti-Israel and anti-Semitic articles are constantly present in this paper, such as the one stating the reason the US is going into Iraq is to fulfill Israel's so-called "expansionist dream" to expand into a "Greater Israel," which of course is a lie.
The current antiwar on Iraq lobby is nothing more than a dangerous anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, pro-terrorist, pro-repression movement which is has become even larger then the pro-Communist "peace" agenda the 1960s Viet Nam era experienced. Persons with long memories can recall a poll taken in Great Britain many years ago, when millions of antiwar Britons voted against taking action: First when Hitler invaded Alsace Lorraine, and later, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. Their inaction to take a stand when faced with a similar situation could have possibly prevented World War II.
This anti-War on Iraq has turned into a party of anti-American propaganda and activism with an anti-American agenda, which supports those terrorists. If you believe Saddam, for example, is bad, and yet you are supporting an organization such as ANSWER, which views Saddam as good, and an organization which views George W. Bush as a Hitler, you are doing a disservice to yourself and to your country.
You must recognize this danger now, and act to stop it.
