While Saddam Hussein is no friend of the oppressed, MIM opposes all attacks by Amerikan imperialism. The terror inflicted on the Kurds by Saddam Hussein is nothing new, back when Amerikan imperialism was funding Hussein he was attacking the Kurds and Amerika did not mind. Turkey also attacks the Kurds and this does not incur Klinton's wrath. The suffering of the Kurdish people must end, but this end will be brought about by the people themselves, not by imperialists who pretend support for the oppressed when it serves political interests while at the same time attacking oppressed nations around the world.
MIM supports Iraqi opposition to Amerikan imperialism. The attempts to "tame" Hussein serve a convenient political purpose for Klinton in an election year. And after the United Nations has already put so much effort into dominating Iraq, the embarrassment of Hussein flouting UN resolutions left the imperialists covering their asses by attacking Saddam Hussein.
In typical chauvinist reporting, Amerikan radio and press echoed the White House's joy that no Amerikan lives had been lost. No one tried to count the Iraqi lives lost in this "successful" air strike. The kind face Klinton tries to put on imperialism is just a cover for political maneuvering. The real message from this attack is that nations should not attempt to resist imperialist domination. But when imperialism means suffering and death for the majority of the world's people, another imperialist offensive in World War III is nothing new. This war is being fought in the Third World where the imperialists and their lackeys carry out constant low intensity warfare against the proletariat and peasants. These attacks don't make it into the news very often but they wreak constant genocide on the oppressed nations of the world. One more overt attack will not stop the oppressed from resisting imperialist domination and the majority of the world's people will eventually defeat the dictatorship by the minority and stop them from abusing all people.
