So, the center view seems to be support fot the war? Doesn't make sense to me.

Leftist figures such as Corbyn, Noam Chomsky, and Australian journalist John Pilger generally view the United States (and the West in general) as the main engine of evil in the world Maybe it's written from a European view point? Their left is so extreme that to them, the American left is considered center, isn't it? So our left's support of the war is being called center?
