However, they managed to find a very strange spokeswoman from the Anti-war co-alition to interview, who started babbling on about our own local concerns like the NHS and the railways (not entirely relevant to overseas campaigns!) and even worse, lapsed into a rather banal 'Anti-Americanism', the type which seeks to absolve British imperialism. 'America is bombing Afghanistan', she kindly informed us, 'and Bush ignored Tony Blair's warning about military intervention'. (I Paraphrase)
Right then, nice clever Tony is trying to save the world from mad, illiterate Bush, it would seem. Except that, as in previous conflicts, (WW2, Vietnam, etc) the USA relies HEAVILY on British bases to complete its logistical sorties (bombing raids).
We have to ask a few questions . Who is this woman? She gave her name :I think she's SWP, but I wont embarrass her; perhaps she could explain. What kind of campaign tries to exculpate warmongers at every chance and bother international actions with our own infrastructual diffi culties?
