Are you really foolish enough to believe that the Anti-war lobby are ‘realists’? The people who stand up now and say ‘Bring the troops home tomorrow!’? We all know the WMD argument was flawed, but when it comes down to it a dictator is gone, and the idea f bringing troops home (as RESPECT, Lib Dems etc are asking) ASAP would be leaving the Iraqis in the shit with a militia of crazies who put the ‘mental’ in ‘fundamentalist’. Now, is it realistic to support the military efforts in Iraq?

lol, Benjamin Mackie is therefore mainstream on this basis.

As for Livingstone, he invited Al Qarwadi, excuse spelling, not the other way round.

" I hardly think people like Terrance in the comments at Harry's count as mainstream."

Oh I don't know. He is now the most prolific commentator there, and the Harry's Place logic is if someone likes you, then you support them (see Ken Livingstone).

I hardly think people like Terrance in the comments at Harry's count as mainstream.

On the other hand the left seem to believe all sorts of rubbish about Zionists/Jews/Neocons. It is also interesting how right wing conspiracies about issues like fluoride in the water have moved to the left.

You're saying that the modern Left believe that government tends to fuck things up? That jibes with my observations.
