(62,325 posts)voice in opposition to the Imperial Powers Foreign Invasions of countries where they have no business whatsoever. He vehemently opposed Bush/Cheney and was one of the few rational voices with the courage to speak out against that vicious war they started in Iraq.
He came here to the US and our right wing congressmembers THOUGHT they could 'get him'. I remember standing up and cheering as he WIPED THE FLOOR with them and I wished we had had some Dems who could put them so firmly in their places they were practically speechless.
Since when the 'Left' begin to despise pretty ALL of those who during those dreadful years that will go down in history as the turning point to the downward spiral of this country, were the courageous voices in the wilderness as even our own party did little to stop the criminals who took over this country.
I admire this man, he has courage which is in short supply these days. We see so little courage that we are accustomed now to weasel words rather than the strong statements people like Galloway made which should have been repeated by every person in this country who gave a damn about it. Instead all we get is weakness and the bad guys continue to control things.
