The Mamma Mia Anti-War Movement

Gabriele Zamparini, The cat's dream

...Phyllis Bennis can keep fighting for the Mamma Mia anti-war movement. On my blog, I can still use that old common sense coming from the history of the Italian Resistance to Fascism and against the Nazi occupation of my country. From that common sense, this is my point of view: - I do not support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan - I consider those troops mass murderers - Nobody forced them to go there and kill, rape, torture innocent people nothing had done to them or their countries - If they are old enough to rape, torture and kill, if they are aware of what they are doing there, then they are surely old enough to refuse to keep doing it (...) I give all my sympathy to the Iraqi and Afghan resistance movements. They are fighting for their land in their land and that’s all we need to know. If we have to use an abused word, they are the real heroes. Not those mass murderers who fly their fat asses on those expensive death toys and drop tons of bombs upon homes, mosques, schools and hospitals. If they want my sympathy, they need first to get home and get home now. They don’t need their mummy’s permission to do that. They are adults with a conscience. They just need to use it and refuse to keep the butchery going. The anti-war movement’s hyper protective attitude toward "our troops" is immoral and counterproductive. - This "anti-war movement" is a disgrace...
