Bill Weinberg writes about what’s being called the “Iraqi civil resistance” — nonviolent, pro-feminist, anti-jihadist, anti-occupation — at WW4 Report. The flagship organization is the Iraqi Freedom Congress, and it’s being supported by Japan’s Movement for Democratic Socialism, to the apparent chagrin of the totalitarians of ANSWER (U.S.) and Stop the War (UK). Money quote from the IFC’s Samir Adil:
[W]e don’t want the American people to just protest to bring the troops home, but to support the secular progressive forces in Iraq, to think about the Iraqi people. We do not want another Taliban regime or Islamic Republic in Iraq.
I’m more sympathetic to the tone than the substance of the IFC manifesto, but I think their story needs to be told.
