By Majdur Travail TUCSON, Feb 6.—(Al-Masakin) The news that Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General and lawyer for the Trotskyite Worker's World Party (WWP), on behalf of the leftist International ANSWER—a WWP front group—is not only sad and misguided it is diametrically opposed to the socialist concepts of national sovereignty, self-determination, and is fundamentally hostile to all Muslims.

WWP, and Clark, pronounced their unprincipled stance against all Muslims when they denied the Srebrenica massacre and pledged their political loyalty to the war criminal Slobodan Milosovich. Although WWP, through Clark, denied political fealty to Milosovich under the pretext of opposing US imperialism, as they did when they adhered to Saddam Hussein during the 1st US - Iraq war, the other shoe drops when WWP supposes to defend Saddam Hussein against the sovereign right of the Iraqi people.

WWP might have made the case for the defense of Saddam if the US Occupation Authority were to be the triers of fact in the Saddam case. In this case, however, the suspected war criminal, and fascist dictator, Saddam Hussein, will not be tried in the World Court or in any imperialist sponsored court. He will not be tried by the US Occupation Authority, but by the Iraqi people, in an Iraqi court, and under Iraqi national sovereignty.
