Why the Anti-War Movement Doesn't Embrace the Iraqi Resistance
Phyllis Bennis of The Institute for Policy Studies writes for AlterNet: "I have spent the last five years opposing the invasion and occupation of Iraq (and before that, a dozen years opposing an earlier war and genocidal US-led economic sanctions against Iraq). I spent - and still spend - weeks and months on the road, speaking at huge demonstrations and in tiny church basements, writing articles and talking points and whatever to help build and strengthen our movement. But I never supported Saddam Hussein, who was "resisting" the US during the sanctions years, and I didn't - and don't - support what is called 'the Iraqi resistance' today. What's the difference?"
