The political left in the United States, predominantly represented by the Democratic party, has a friend in the World Socialist Website. A post on that site is nearly a verbatim echo of the left’s response to the Haditha Marines and the US Military’s case against them. But who knows, many of those in or who support the Democratic party may already be card carrying members of this or some other socialist group.

The opening paragraph of the post is the best part. Not a single Marine involved in the massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians two years ago in Haditha, Iraq will be charged with murder based upon last week’s recommendations by an investigating officer. The remainder of the piece is a full blown diatribe that serves no worthwhile purpose. But then if it does not embarrass one to be associated with a website entitled the World Socialist Website, the self-image of the author must be as contrived as the writing.

Perhaps their description of who they are will provide a little light in this dark abyss. The World Socialist Web Site is the Internet center of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI). The standpoint of this web site is one of revolutionary opposition to the capitalist market system. If this does not sound like a typical Democrat it certainly mimics their agenda in Congress and elsewhere, like the campaign trail. And the previously referenced piece echoes their sentiment on the Haditha Marines and anything related to victory in the war in Iraq. Is this post an insensitive analysis for the tragedy of war? No. It is a statement that the antiwar left and their socialist counterpart have prolonged victory in Iraq by their continued public opposition that strengthened the enemy and was the self-fulfilling prophecy for their complaints. Fortunately, additional military operations in Iraq commenced earlier this year prove them wrong. Victory was and is achievable if they will just silence themselves and stop being an obstacle that favors the enemy.

Another post from the Bloggers News Network is more to the point about Haditha. It was touted as a major massacre, where innocent civilians were killed in cold blood by trigger happy soldiers.

The “massacre” was widely publicized, with news reports and pictures inflaming the public. Indeed, the news reports and pictures were deliberately manipulated by some as a way to influence public opinion against the regime that the soldiers were representing.

But when the case came to trial, the “evidence” fell apart, and most of the soldiers were acquitted, and only two given a minor punishment for lesser charges for their part in the killings.

It is like the left only deems death in war as unavoidable by pre-selecting those who die as someone who meets their standard of evil. The flaw in that method is demonstrated by all the good people who die in war and why most people dislike the activity so much they wish to achieve victory as soon as possible and certainly without delay so less good people die. The antiwar left either sabotages their own agenda by being the cause of their discontentor choosing the wrong side of the issue which makes it difficult for them to be successful.

It would be nice if they would stop interfering with the rest of us and climb on board before victory is achieved so we start acting like one country. Acting as they have is what really defines the two Americas their candidates talk about.
