Sites Holmquist trys, and often fails, to go no more than a couple of days without visiting (some of which Holmquist regularly swipes links from without attribution)
While I find all of these posters interesting, they are at best limited means of describing the situation since by using the "Star Wars" story as a model they accept that their is absolute good and absolute evil in the real world just as there is in that story. This isn't the case at all, and I think goups like OMF would have to acknowledge this as I highly doubt they see those like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden who Bush has in his propogandistic cross hairs as being on the side of good. Furtheremore it is hard to think of anybody in this situation who is absolutely good. The Iraqi population outside of the Kurdish controlled areas has suffered under the many methods of the war that the U.S. has waged against them but that hardly makes them "good." Being a victim does not make somebody into being automatically just. It merely means that they shouldn't be treated in the way that they have been treated. posted by micah holmquist at 11/30/2002 01:56:00 PM
