So, so, sophist

Read, if you can bear it, this. Summary: Oliver Kamm draws our attention to yesterday’s horrible bombing in Iraq, and then says how disgraceful The Pseudo-Left are for believing that it’s OK.

The only thing missing from his argument is, err, any evidence that The Pseudo-Left think the bombing is OK. The one link he supplies refers to Stop The War Coalition suggesting that it’s reasonable for the ‘resistance’ to target Western civilians who work for the occupation. While this is not an appealing viewpoint, it’s very, very different from supporting the mass-murder of Iraqis.

Update: Kamm replies (obviously he doesn’t *link* to his opponents – that would allow people to read what they’d actually written), and misses the point entirely. Yes, STWC said ‘by whatever means they find necessary’ in the context of Ken Bigley. This can’t be meant literally, unless Kamm wishes to claim that STWC believe the Iraqi resistance would be justified in destroying the entire world to end the occupation.
