Three-Toed Sloth criticises antiwar.com site (via dy)
Antiwar.com is one of the better resources out there mainly because of the number of fresh links to worthwhile articles. In this aspect it is better than zmag.org and comparable or possibly superior to commondreams.org. Its weaknesses are an excessive reliance on mainstream US media sites and the ideological intrusion of too much uninteresting right-libertarian, 'conservative', Randroid, and von Mises material. A particularly important aspect of the site however is precisely its existence as an antiwar site in spite of its 'conservative' ideological foundations. This development, the split in the anti-socialist/libertarian/fundamentalist/republican/conservative faction over the issue of militarism and empire, is significant and worth monitoring, and antiwar.com appears to be one of the primary sites revealing the split. The Sloth criticises Raimondo for his various disagreeable views but a merit of Raimondo is that at least opinion and comment is kept to specific opinion articles instead of occupying most of the blog, a defect which makes many blogs distracting in my opinion.
