Solidarity against Powerful Enemies Is a Sine Qua Non
http://dissidentvoice.org/2011/06/solidarity-against-powerful-enemies-must-be-a-sine-qua-non-for-progressives/

In Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, the Chinese military strategist wrote, “So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.” Few would argue with Sun Tzu’s logic; therefore, if knowing your enemy is important, first off, one must realize who one’s enemy is.

Many regimes in the Middle East find themselves embattled. I see little reason but to dissent from most of the regimes in the Middle East, but this holds pretty much elsewhere in the world.

Freedom of political determination by a people is a progressive principle, and people should be free to make such determination by themselves without outside interference.

This is not a principle respected or adhered to by either the United States regime or the Israeli regime. They are behind or deeply complicit in much of the mayhem, carnage, upheavals, repression, and war crimes that occur in the Middle East.
