On the Friday, 26 in Warsaw University, the liberal broadsheet 'The Journal' organized meeting with polish military ministry Radosław Sikorski (husband of angry anticommunist Anne Appelblaum, ideologist of american imperialism Norman Podhoretz and conservative marshall of lower part of polish parlament. The topic of the 'debate' was 'Fight for the world domminance', I'm writing 'debate' because all of them are angry american-issrael imperialist conservatist.

The activists of New Left and Students Against War Poland, were witing in a number of around 20 in the front of the building where the disscusion was supposed to take place. They were raising a banner 'War is the rich toy'. The leader of SAWP was shouting: 'Shout down ideolog's of war!'. But the conservatives acompanied by large group of Goverment Security Unity entered the building via backstage.

So the leftists left the banners and joined the building where discussion took part. The Sikorski asked university seurity to take them away as during the disscusion they were distributting anti war leaflets, at the same moment the brochures how is it good to invade Iraq and how bad was USSR and ofcourse free copies of 'The journal'. The leader of New Left Piotr Ikonowicz started to quarrel with the moderator of disscusion but the bomb blow up when Podhoertz asked Sikorski about polish left, and he answered
They are nothing The Ikonowicz and others started to go over the microphone angry because of that. The university security was supported by Goverment Security Unit and they forced tha activists to go outside. The leftists were shouting: 'That how looks like yours democracy'. Only few of leftists stayed at the debate, when there was a time to questions of public the moderator didn't gave the microphone to the audience but wrote down questions, it seams strange that all were pro war.

In the liberal press Podhoertz claimed that these people were 'anthisemiths' and were using 'nazist methods'.
