Ion Pacepa, who was a colonel in Ceaucescu's intelligence service, bashes the anti-war crowd who used to be the pro-Soviet crowd in NRO. Pacepa ought to know. Terrific piece. David Horowitz has a piece up on a debate he attended at which Christopher Hitchens showed up. Hitch was dutifully pro-war but failed to make the necessary anti-Left arguments that would have clinched the debate in his favor, says ex-nutcase lefty now turned right-wing activist Horowitz. Fox News has this article on who's behind the anti-war protests; their language is not strong enough. Both International Action Center and ANSWER are Workers' World Party fronts, and you don't have to do too much digging to find that out, since the same activists control all three organizations and their control is not democratic.

The story also talks about people who are planning direct action against the war effort, by blocking traffic and doing everything they can to cause disruption and confusion and create problems to distract the government from fighting the war. This is aiding the enemy. It is one thing to protest against the war. You've got every right to do that. You can peacefully assemble against the war. You can write against the war--anyone can do that, because anyone can have a weblog. You can call the president a Fascist murderer and say you hate America and that you hope that all our soldiers get killed, if you want to. That is your right. It is not your right to break the law, and it is especially not your right to break the law when your stated intention in doing so is to impede the United States from fighting a war. That is called aiding the enemy, and aiding the enemy is treason. I think these people should be tried for treason; I think there are a lot of people in this world who have no idea what their responsibility and its consequences are. You, personally, MAY NOT interfere with the war effort. You are, personally, RESPONSIBLE if you do so. Interfering with the war effort is a CRIME. It is called SABOTAGE. People who commit crimes are PUNISHED. People who commit sabotage, which is a form of TREASON, are punished HARSHLY. I don't care whether you love baby seals and redwood trees or not, and I don't care if you're the black Hispanic Native American lesbian transgendered unwed mother of five minor children, and I don't care what your fucking conscience told you to do. You break the LAW, you help the ENEMY, you go to JAIL. There are a lot of people who just do not understand the seriousness of what they are doing, and do not understand that lying down in front of an army truck or any other form of sabotage has CONSEQUENCES. It's time these people found out.
