05/07/2003 Entry: "Seeing the war with other eyes"

"'Mexicans are angry at the gringos and at Bush,' as one person put it. Continuing, she said what appears obvious to many people here--'Bush is insane. Did you see him dressed up in a military uniform climbing aboard a war plane?'

"Subcomandante Marcos aptly summed up the general sentiment in a letter published in La Jornada on April 12. 'If the current United States government is to be recognized for anything, it is that it achieved in a few weeks what took Hitler years: awakening the condemnation of millions of human beings on the entire planet.'

"And it occurs to me that, while we in America debate tactics and strategy, we hamper ourselves so long as we fail to look to those who can teach us--those who have been fighting American Hegemony longer, and more desperately, than we have ever had to. So far as I can see, they aren't giving up yet.

"And if we in the American opposition fail to notice, fail to ask for the help of the wider world in our struggle, we are not so different from those Americans who, according to the polls, support the war wholeheartedly--that is to say, isolated and ill-informed. Americans, even the American left, no longer leads the world in the struggle for peace and justice--instead, I think, we have a lot of listening and learning to do. It's past time for us to join the world, as simply one people among many."
Seeing the War with Other Eyes, by Troy Skeels, Eat the State, Vol. 7, No. 15, May 7, 2003

I wonder if the world can help us. There doesn't seem to be a Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier to help us out this time.
