Anti-War or Anti-American?

This is a refreshing article out of Canada:

The pre-invasion anti-war movement morphed into a post-invasion anti-Bush movement. The failure of both efforts has deepened the resolve and refocused the efforts blue-state liberals, socialists, and the ever-present rent-a-mob crowd. ANSWER is revving up its street-theater engines to protest the President’s inauguration, and to create a world-wide protest March 19, the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.

Disappointed media moguls have already begun the campaign. In a Washington Post article, Robert Kuttner says the anti-war protests will be the most determined antiwar movement since the anti-Vietnam protests led by John Kerry and Jane Fonda.
Like Kerry’s anti-war campaign, the propaganda is based on lies and half-truths, designed to inflame a strong emotional response. The purpose of the war is distorted, obscured, and misrepresented. For example, ANSWER justifies its anti-war position by claiming that the U.S. deliberately targets civilians. They claim that "the top enlisted Marine in Iraq has called on his troops to commit war crimes against the tens of thousands of remaining residents" of Fallujah.
But they completely ignore the fact that coalition troops have uncovered mass graves that contain the bodies of nearly a half-million Iraqis executed by Saddam Hussein, and the discovery of slaughter-houses in Fallujah where innocent victims were routinely beheaded.
These people are not simply "anti-war," they are anti-American.
They call President Bush a " war criminal" while praising the terrorists in Iraq as "resistance fighters" and calling on all Americans to display the Palestinian flag in three days of mourning; "Let every flag and kuffiyya fly high in honor of all those who have passed - from Fallujah to Rafah and from Baghdad to Jerusalem."

Of course, read the entire thing.
