Up and down the road to a big anti-war movement

"Nathan Newman" <nathan at newman.org>

The antiwar movement is over a decade into fighting the newest round of US interventons, from Panama to the Gulf War to Afghanistan, and the support by the public for each war has INCREASED over that period. The verdict on the present configuration of antiwar organizing is clear-- it's a complete and utter failure. Talking about "90 days" ignores the historical roots of those early efforts.

CB:What about the U.S. war on Yugoslavia , which you supported ? I'm a little suspicious of people who are pro- U.S. war, like Nathan, announcing that the anti-war movement is a failure. There's a kind of fifth column-warmonger ring to your statements.
