Lileks on ANSWER

    The International Action Center coordinated the rally -- and who are they, you ask? According to their Web site, they're dedicated to "resistance to U.S. militarism, war and corporate greed." Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark is one of their luminaries, and the site reflects his U.S.-Out-of-North-America worldview.
    These people would take Lex Luthor's side against Superman.
    Judging from the position papers and articles on the site, they live in that Bizarro world of American politics where Fidel Castro is a champion of freedom, Saddam Hussein is a victim, and North Korea is an innocent victim of American imperialism. These people would take Lex Luthor's side against Superman.

    True to the belief that evil can best be combated with ponderous acronyms, they've assembled a new antiwar group, the International ANSWER. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). The list of signatories condemning Bush had all the usual suspects -- labor organizers from AFSCME, a Mumia Abu-Jamal advocate, Greens, dovish Jews, and other sorts who'd be shot on day one should the terrorists win.
