¡No Pasarán!: Behind Enemy Lines

Behind Enemy Lines

No Pasarán's Erik and Medienkritik's Ray (who flew from Nuremberg to join his brother-in-arms) attended the June 5 anti-American demonstration in Paris along with three French comrades (Aléric, Fredéric, and David) to learn more about the generosity, the tolerance, and the Solomonic wisdom of Europe's brotherly pacifists. (Lire la version française.)

You're not in Kansas anymore!

The so-called French-American Culture Club (headed by an American woman who has lived in Paris for 28 years) displays its sagacious view of history

A French pacifist displays his generosity, his humanitarianism, his love of peace, and his hatred of bombings and other violent acts. (After spewing diatribes against Bush, Blair, and Sharon, followed rhythmically by the protestors chanting the word "Resistance!", the "DJ" spat out "We got Aznar! You're next!")

"Pull out the occupation troops! Solidarity with the Iraqi resistance!" Thank God that the citizens of Iraq have people here in Europe, who (contrary to the Americans) truly love them and want to help them. It's gratifying to see that these Europeans have the Iraqis' best interests at heart.

Wait a minute!…
What's this?!

The dismal 1970s would have continued into the 80s and 90s. The "revolutionaries" of the 60s would have atrified into a new status quo, an intolerant, close-minded Establishment unable to comprehend different points of view and so bereft of ideas that it can only define itself in opposition to others.

That is what Europe is today. And these are the true reactionaries.; 3:22 PM

They helped them by indulging themselves in imagined "solidarity"! Do you really think that thier "solidarity" (opposition to their emancipation from Sadaam, actually) is welcomed by the majority of the Iraqi population?

Do they even think to ask themselves that? Or even ask an Iraqi? A REAL one, not one who's been living in London as a teddy bear for the reds to hug...

You guys should think about being the European division.

Of course, you might get beaten up by these peacable-type folk.
