Since when a large number of arrests and payoffs to your local police force-which maintain a permanent siege and a policy of state terrorism in communities of color-constitute the largest civil rights movement in US history? This gross misrepresentations can only come from self-righteous and arrogant pacifists. Why don't they show some respect for the brave struggles of the Palestinian and Iraqi peoples who are resisting western state terrorism and occupation? The fact they are resisting through arms doesn't make those struggles any less just and important than yours!

And here is another fact that needs to be look at seriously: we can't even begin to talk about peace without addressing first the justice denied to peoples all over the world by imperialist powers. Justice in this case means the total and fair redistribution of wealth and resources illegally stolen from peoples all over the planet! And that includes your own wealth and the privilege that comes with it! This alone is the reason for the vast majority of conflicts in the world during the past and today.

You can continue with your peace parades, seat downs and negotiating and paying the police for mass arrests and still change nothing! It is the courageous resistance of the Iraqi people that deserves all the credit and which eventually will bring them victory, not matter how long it takes!
