Who are these 'anti-war' people?
They are the same people who excused and defended Stalin, Mao Zedong, and
Pol Pot against the Americans and their allies. They are the people
who helped Ho Chi Minh to subject the Vietnamese people to a harsh brutal
communist regime. They are the same people who defended Saddam Hussein in
the face of action to remove the most brutal dictator of the second half of
the twentieth century and to free the people of Iraq.
One of the great mysteries of modern life is how these same people
maintain any credibility at all – let alone form the ruling class in Western
liberal democracies. |
