MoveOn.org is the prime organizer of the candle light vigils in Minneapolis. MoveOn.org has been hot-wired to the Democratic Party from the git-go. It fundraises for Democratic Party candidates. MoveOn.org was launched with a campaign called something like 'Do the impeachment vote and move on" back in the mid-1990's. Since then, MoveOn.org has raised beaucoup bucks for Democratic Party politicians. I looked over the whole MoveOn web site a few months ago.
Last fall MoveOn.org set up the 'Win Without War' coalition. These people support the project of disarming, overthrowing and replacing the government of Iraq, preferably with UN approval. The only way to "win without war" is to prepare for war, and hope that the Iraqi government will roll over and play dead. (That's the Sojourners Plan in a nutshell) MoveOn.org is not going to call for the immediate withdrawal of US troops from the Persian Gulf. They prefer to help give Bush the cover he needs to prepare for war, and to weep and light candles for all the people who are about to be slaughtered in order to make Iraq a de facto colony of the US. The 'Iraqi threat' is a smokescreen. -Doug Mann, King Field Mann for School Board web site http://educationright.tripod.com TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
