Anti-war thread...
This anti-war movement is completely unprecedented. The war hasn't even
started, and somewhere between 6-10 million people in over 600 cities
around the world marched against the war. I marched on Feb. 15 and it was
exhilirating.
The internet is spawning dissent every day, and allowing organization on a
scale that would have been unimaginable even 10 years ago.
It's also the most varied anti-war movement ever...old people, young
people, liberals, conservatives, multi-cultural, etc. That obviously leads
to a less coherent message, but that is fine. That's democracy. Some people
are more articulate, others less, some more radical, some less, etc.
I have no doubts that this movement has if nothing else, slowed the march
to war and created much trepidation among leaders who otherwise would have
followed Dubya without flinching. The people are waking up.
