This is bullshit. You're the one who's passing judgment on who the good guys and bad guys are, dismissing the achivements of the antiwar movement in a short space of time against all the odds imposed by American political culture. You're diagnosing phantom pathologies - as if the war happened because WWP apologized for SH. Fuck that. The war happened because we live in an imperialist state with a passive, depoliticized population, run by a party dominated by violent fundamentalists, with a bunch of complicit patsies pretending to be the opposition. And despite that, a vigorous antiwar movement developed.
