This is why the quote from Gary Wills Yoshie posted is so important. During this "noisy flash in the pan" (if that is what it is) any leftist worth a damn had damn well better be pushing an agenda within the anti-war movement that aims at creating at least a larger core cadre left behind when the flash goes out. That's why I responded so shortly to that stupid post by Kelley the other day -- and her incoherent reply didn't do much to remedy her error.
