Can we assassinate these people?

"It's the old anticapitalist, anti-U.S., anti-Israel crowd," says Vidino, who has been to their gatherings, where he saw activists from Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Italy. "The glue that binds them together is anti-Americanism." The groups are working on an October conference to further support "the Iraqi Resistance." A key goal is to expand backing for the insurgents from the fringe left to the broader antiwar and antiglobalization movements.

Why exactly would people on the left fund terrororists who are certaintly not leftist at all?

**Proletariat** · 06-26-2005, 21:29

Erm, anti-Americanism is the idea put forth.

The groups are an odd collection, made up largely of Marxists and Maoists, sprinkled with an array of Arab emigres and aging, old-school fascists,

Odd collection and certainly not all on the left... if facists are left wing in your world view I suggest doing a quick goose step to the left towards moderate.

Put them on trial for funding terrorist organisations.

Assassinate them only if you wish to admit defeat in this war on terrorism.

If they're in countries that are helping us in Iraq (Britain, for example), put their sorry butts on trial for high treason.

I just can't believe how blind they are- they are giving money to destroy a democracy, freedom, justice, etc., just because they don't like the USA. A bit shortsighted, are we?

God please yes. I'm so sick of this shit.

Ditto.

Putting these knuckleheads on trial raises some interesting questions about jurisdiction and potential penalties. It seems unlikely that if convictions were obtained in Europe that the sentences handed down would satisfy the U.S.

Similairly, if for some odd reason, the U.S. was involved in the prosecution of persons involved in this kind of activity, I can't imagine there not being a substantial backlash in those countries that ceded jurisdiction.

Honestly...killing these dirtbags would be a lot quicker.

I don't think anyone would object.

Americans dont understand just how much hatred there is of them in Europe.

Certainly not all Europeans, but a large group have bought into this ultra-leftist view of the world with America being the greatest evil. This makes them natural allies of arab extremists.

In any event, yes, these people are enemies of America and allies of terrorists so they need to be killed.

**doc_bean** · 06-26-2005, 22:06

Put them on trial for aiding terrorists, we have laws against that now !

Personally I really don't care if these people get killed, or shipped of to G'itmo. But as always, after they get a fair (and hopefully speedy) trial.

Saying these people are representative for Europe is like saying NAMBLA is representative of the average American. It's simply not true.

I guess the name "Thirty Pieces of Silver" was taken.

Is the MSM gonna ignore this one too?

**Lazul** · 06-26-2005, 22:19

I know alot of marxists, alot of syndicalists and so on. None of them support any terror. I havent even heard one guy telling anyone that terror against the US forces is a good thing.
Could be tho that terror-supporters arent that numerus in Sweden.

Doc's got a point. If it turns out Joshka Fischer (sp?) is on the list of donators, you might have a point, but I don't think you can make any statements about Europe at large on this (other than they seem to have a pretty loose policy on what's allowed to be posted on European based web servers). I would take great offense to somebody claiming this (http://www.americannaziparty) was the covert agenda of a large portion of Americans, yet there it is, hosted on a domestic US server.
