They&rsquo;re obedient, domesticated, loyal to their imperialist masters, vicious, trained to kill, etc.  <br>  <br><br> The imperialist masters&rsquo; trainers have spent a lot of time training yanqui dog soldiers how to kill people, especially dark-skinned people in the third world. When the supreme imperialist master points his fingers at some country that he doesn&rsquo;t like and says &ldquo;sic em boy, sic em&rdquo;, yanqui dog soldiers hop on a plane and go half way around to kill the supreme imperialist master&rsquo;s enemies.  <br>  <br> Like killer dogs, they don&rsquo;t ask questions and they don&rsquo;t think for themselves. They just kill who ever they are ordered to kill. <br>  <br><br> Yanqui dog soldiers are so brainwashed by their imperialist masters that it&rsquo;ll take a tremendous effort to educate them to the degree where they can understand that imperialist invasions are criminal in nature, that their imperialist masters must to be tried for war crimes and that yanqui dog soldiers who murder for their imperialist masters are responsible for their crimes. <br>  <br><br> How can they be educated? They can be educated the same way many people house train their dogs. Grab them by the ears and stick their noses in their own shit, i.e., the shit of yanqui imperialism. In other words, teach them about the long bloody history of US imperialism in its pursuit of profits via conquest. Show them how capitalist ideology thrives on racism, oppression of women, exploitation of workers, destruction of the environment, etc. Show them how US imperialism is destroying society and our planet, i.e., that capitalism, in its quest to turn the world upside down and inside out for profits, is not a sustainable economic system.  <br>  <br><br> Of course some yanqui dog soldiers will never learn. They&rsquo;ll live out the rest of their lives with the shit of yanqui imperialism on their noses. As the saying goes &ldquo;you can&rsquo;t teach an old dog new tricks&rdquo;, so don&rsquo;t waste time on them. <br>  <br><br> Sympathy for yanqui dog soldiers via slogans like &ldquo;Support Our Troops&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t work. It&rsquo;s like begging a new puppy not to shit in your carpet. The proof is in Iraq. After nine months of employing this strategy, what are the results? Where are the troops who are organizing a resistance like the troops did in Vietnam? So far all that&rsquo;s happened is a few AWOLs (absent without leave), some suicides and one soldier who injured himself so he could go home. Meanwhile the atrocities committed by US troops continue full steam ahead.  <br>  <br><br> The anti-war movement in the US needs to get in step with the rest of the world. Stop supporting the US troops and start teaching them. Scorn them, ostracize them, do whatever is necessary to get them to wake up and listen. We can support them when they take an active stance against the war.       <br>  <br>      <br>  <br> <\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Suggesting as new strategy for anti-war activists","numcomment":10,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2003\/12\/97263.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":97281,"heading":"a shame","article":"the world would be a better place if we educated you ny being placed in tikrit with no guns.","author":"dt","parent_id":97263,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-12-15 16:22:28","modified":"2003-12-15 16:22:28","fileurl":""},{"id":97282,"heading":"a shame","article":"the world would be a better place if we educated you by being placed in tikrit with no guns.","author":"dt","parent_id":97263,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-12-15 16:22:44","modified":"2003-12-15 16:22:44","fileurl":""},{"id":97283,"heading":"a shame","article":"the world would be a better place if we educated you by placing YOU in tikrit with our finest dawgs chasing you down.","author":"dt","parent_id":97263,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-12-15 16:24:41","modified":"2003-12-15 16:24:41","fileurl":""},{"id":97284,"heading":"a shame","article":"the world would be a better place if we traded an innocent iraqi life with yours.","author":"dt","parent_id":97263,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-12-15 16:25:54","modified":"2003-12-15 16:25:54","fileurl":""},{"id":97288,"heading":"More Troll Garbage?","article":"Yeah, right, that would be a good strategy for the left, should resonate well with America.\r\nYou're probably the same poster who up up that they're like scabs.\r\nJust more troll garbage?
