Well I think that it is reasonable to look at how the anti-war or pro-war movements are being infiltrated or manipulated by fringe elements, but I also think that calling all protesters 'fuzz-brains' is over the top. Being a pacifist is a totally legitimate position - even though I disagree with it. I agree. In my original post, I classified pacifists non-fuzzbrains who had a policy. But real pacifists have some awareness of what their stand will cost, and are willing to pay the price. Those who just want to feel good and pat themselves on the back as morally superior to the war-mongers, who protect them, and in this case the Kurds as well, are essentially free riders. And the more you look at ANSWER, the worse they look. The blogger tacitus ( tacitus.org )points out that the WWP broke off from the World Socialist Party in 1956 over the Soviet invasion of Hungary -- they supported it. They have also acted as apologists for the Khmer Rouge, China, and Serbia.
