My response to Juan Cole. In brief: the Administration's decision to embark on a new war without Congressional authorization represents a long-term threat to the U.S. peace movement, because Congress is a key arena in which the peace movement tries to affect U.S. policy in the direction of less war. Taking away Congressional war powers is to the peace movement as taking away collective bargaining is to the labor movement: a direct threat to our ability to move our agenda in the interests of our constituents.
