A large number of Americans, who are instinctively isolationists,
would likely come to approve of the proposals to cut off all aid to
Israel, discontinue the blockade of Iraq, and remove all troops from
the rest of the world, if leftists worked patiently & persistently.
The majority of Americans tend to support dropping bombs & lobbing
missiles as long as doing so entails few American casualties, but
that doesn't mean that they are liberal internationalists.  They are
conservative in the old-fashioned sense.  Yoshie

  So, in the short term, we should go to meetings of the John Birch Society?

Recently, on KPFA Flashpoints I heard Kevin Danaher of Global Exchange say
he appears frequently on Christian Right radio talk shows.
He tries to steer the audience away from the crap about the Globaloney
Illuminati. But, then in a NYTimes story, a few days after the anti-war demo
in S.F. on S29, he is quoted in the 2nd paragraph or so disputing that 90%
of those Americans polled want a military onslaught. Given these radio
appearences he should have a bead on some sector of mass opinion that most
rootless, cosmopolitan lefties swilling lattes don't ever talk to. Ah yes,
the peace loving masses...
