Radical Moslems find allies in Marxists

While so many are reveling in the opportunity to pillory Pat Robertson for suggesting that a Marxist almost-dictator in South America might be a threat the US, WorldNetDaily reports that some Marxist organizations are making no bones about which side they're on...

Bringing together anarchists, Marxists and radical Muslims, new coalitions of Americans and Brits are joining forces not only to express opposition to the U.S. presence in Iraq but in some cases to urge outright support for the insurgents there killing GIs on a nearly daily basis.

Writing in a recent edition of the International Socialist Review, Paul D'Amato argues, "If the war is one of imperialist conquest, and the resistance opposes that conquest, then by definition the Iraqi resistance is a legitimate war of national liberation."

D'Amato says that to deny support for the resistance is synonymous with rejecting national independence for Iraq.

Odd that this didn't get anywhere near the attention that Pat Robertson did. I wonder why? Hmmmm.
