  Subj: Debate over Iraq rages in Britain (2/2)  
 [continued from previous message] 
  
 "The Algerian National Liberation Front used to reply, `We do what we 
 have to do to drive you out of our country. If you don't want us to 
 bomb caf€s where you and your friends sit, then please lend us a few 
 fighter bombers and we can bomb your barracks.' 
  
 "Throughout the Vietnam War the U.S. denounced the Vietnamese when 
 they planted bombs in the capital, Saigon. But the resistance had to 
 do this to make the country ungovernable. 
  
 "It is not a pretty thing. But the character of the occupation 
 determines the nature of the resistance--this is true in every single 
 instance. 
  
 "We in the anti-war movement shouldn't lose our nerve when things 
 happen such as the bombing in London. ... Unless there is a political 
 solution, the terror will go on. ... 
  
 "The ideas we have put forward--the link between the bombing and the 
 war on Iraq--is more or less common sense on the streets throughout 
 Britain. People who might not even like us are saying, `If we hadn't 
 gone to Iraq, they might not have bombed us.' 
  
 "That's why the establishment have united around the idea that this 
 has nothing to do with Iraq. We have to be clear--it does have 
 something to do with Iraq and, unless we pull out, it may happen 
 again."
