Which forces should the U.S. anti-war movement support in Iraq? Should we give blanket support to all groups "resisting" the US occupation - including ex-Baathists and Islamic fundamentalists? Can we forget the grim liquidation campaigns against leftists in Sadaam Hussein's Iraq in the early 70s and after the Iranian Revolution in the 80s? Does political Islam or right-wing nationalism offer a road forward for the majority of Iraqis?
Join the Socialist Party USA (NYC local) and the National Organization for Iraqi Freedom Struggles for a discussion of the progressive secular alternatives offered by the Iraq Freedom Congress. The evening will include a screening of the short documentary entitled "The Iraqi Civil Resistance." Award-winning journalist Bill Weinberg will provide a report-back from an international conference on building solidarity with the Iraq Freedom Congress (IFC) held in Tokyo this past summer.
Bill Weinberg is editor of the electronic journal World War 4 Report (WW4Report.com) and author of Homage to Chiapas: The New Indigenous Struggles in Mexico (Verso, 2000). His work has appeared in numerous publications, including The Nation, AlterNet, New America Media, NACLA Report on the Americas, etc. He is also co-producer of the "The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade" on WBAI.
