Heschel to Lead Anti-War Rally

Susannah Heschel, chairwoman of the Jewish studies program, will be leading an anti-war rally Sunday in Manhattan, according to the arch-liberal Village Voice. Timed to mark the second anniversary of Iraq's liberation, the rally is organized in part by Iraq Veterans Against the War, a defeatist organization which sees the War on Terror as "pointless" and based on "lies and deceit." Also appearing with the Jewish studies professor will be the YAYA Network, a group dedicated to undermining the armed forces by "counter-recruiting," and Military Families Speak Out, which has declared that fighting terrorists with force "is the problem, not the solution."

Where did you get the quotation that backs your claim that IVAW is against the "War on Terror"?

I don't think you can take it for granted that just because the President says the Iraq War is part of the "War on Terror" that it is, in fact, that.

The very phrase "War on Terror" smacks of stupidity, anyway. Strangely, it seems to be cut from the same cloth of vaguery as those other wars you conservatives think are unwinnable - the war on poverty and the war on drugs.

Has anyone ever won a war on a thing? Seems the answer's no. Maybe we should stop fighting nebulae and start fighting discreet entities.

Background on IVAW Founder Michael Hoffman (Email iraqvet@mail.com)
National Coordinator, East Coast Contact. According to the IVAW website:
"Michael was a Lance Corporal in a Marine Corps artillery battery during the March 2003 invasion of Iraq."

From my investigation, reality is: Michael Hoffman is a UFO believer and paranoid conspiracy buff who thinks the writings of Robert Anton Wilson reflect reality rather than fantasy. He is an avid anti-semitic historical revisionist who uses code words typical of neo-nazi group members, such as "ZOG" to refer to the US Government. He has a history of usenet spamming and noted by many even within the revisionist community of being excessively paranoid. He is a Chomsky fan.
