To PDQ
Opposition to the war in Britain is not anti American...not in the least.
There is a wide anti war movement in America...for example some 300 000 marched in New York last month to protest at the invasion and continuing occupation of Iraq.
Notable Americans including Noam Chomsky,the late Edward Said and Howard Zinn have spoken out against the warhawks.
US veterans against the war are organising to tell the world about what they have seen.Indeed some of these veterans marched to New Orleans last month to make the link between the criminality of the war and the criminality of what has been done to the poor of New Orleans.
Get a grip pdq ...millions across the world marched to try to stop the war before the horror of Shock and Awe was unleashed by the war gang in the White House. Bush and his grisly crew of reactionary oil men ,recycled Reaganites and chickenhawks and backed by his poodle Blair, were determined to get their war and the resulting mayhem, murder and madness is plain for all to see.
