Well now, it's a small world isn't it?

The protesting group supporters and organizers in America:

Both socialist organizations against the liberation of Iraq.

Now the good part...
Saddam's Baath party is a socialist party.

The Baath Party was from the beginning a secular Arab nationalist party. Socialism (not Marxism) was quickly adopted as the party’s economic dogma: “Unity [Arab], Freedom [from colonialism], and Socialism” are still the watchwords. From its earliest development, the motivation behind Baathist political thought and its leading supporters was the need to produce a means of reasserting the Arab spirit in the face of foreign domination. Moral and cultural deterioration, it was felt, had so weakened the Arabs that Western supremacy spread throughout the Middle East. Arabs needed a regeneration of the common heritage of people in the region to drive off debilitating external influences.

So the socialists in the United States were against the war to liberate Iraq from their fellow socialist brother Saddam.

That was too easy!

You were never a liberal.

You don't know me from Adam, and you certainly don't know what I was or was not 25 years ago.

Today's liberals are, in many instances, slime held over from the Clinton administration, with no moral compass, only what they think is a political one.

We oppose pre-emptive war for good reason.

Yes, and when pre-emptive war is necessary to protect the American people from anti-American terrorists, what exactly IS your reason for not supporting it?
