Reply #11: We Need a Right-Left Antiwar Alliance [View All]

[pretty_lies]

The Democrats and Republicans alike showed yesterday that they support endless war. They are opposed to the vast majority of the people.

If you believe that stopping the war, and imperialism generally, is the #1 priority, then it follows that you should take your allies as you find them.

Ron Paul, and other antiwar conservatives, like Pat Buchanan, William Lind and possibly Chuck Hagel, differ profoundly from the left in many respects. But from the point of view of quickly ending the war, it makes sense to set these differences aside for the time being.

These conservatives influence many people we cannot. Their language is important to us.

What do you believe?
