I'm not holding my breath about reforms happening from within the ANSWER coalition, but it is possible that some groups will pull out know that they've heard that the WWP runs the organization.
In the long run, I think all the other anti-war activism that is going on will eclipse ANSWER. This morning I've read about a spontaneous anti-war action in New Orleans and I've heard about plans being put together here in Washington by our new anti-capitalist anti-war group. Like I said before, the anti-war movement has pulled out of the station and Ramsey Clark is still back on the platform making his speech.
