WORLD WAR 4 REPORT editor Bill Weinberg led another modestly-attended presentation this evening about the Iraq Freedom Congress [2], this time at a meeting of the New York chapter of the Socialist Party USA [3].

Of course not. Obviously, the assasination of trade union leaders, stoning 11 year old girls and the sectarian "cleansing" of multi-ethnic neighborhoods are all part of an authentic heroic resistance movement. Only a silly socialist would support Iraqis fighting for class solidarity, autonmous women's groups and people's right to live where they choose. We should all shell out the $9 for your movie (instead of the free Socialist movie - how quaint a free movie) and cheerlead the arrival of the Islamic Republic of Iraq. At least you will turn a buck on it...
