I don't have any Marxist pals and the use of such a term shows a decided ignorance of political theory and a profound knowledge of right-wing ideology.

I have been doing that which you have (eventually) got around to asking for years. I have supported those who wanted freedom from UK rule and hegemony (I often use Cyprus as an example) and wholeheartedly condemn the USSR and China for the way it treated people in the past and nowadays. I don't work on the basis of ideology but on what people's actions are. My condemnation of countries who invade other countries is unequivocal.

And I don't even ask you if you will now condemn the USA for all those deaths you talked about.

I know you will because I believe you are a very fair man.....and I mean that most sincerely.
