Nope. I'd like to see the anti-war movement succeed, which is why I have gone out on a limb in being an outspoken movement critic of ANSWER. Yesterday's protest was little different than the IAC's June 1999 protest against the Balkans War. Remember that one and how it stopped the war? Oh wait, the war had ended the day before!
The anti-war movement is going to spin it's wheels as long as it just goes along with ANSWER's agenda and doesn't come up with a proactive long-term campaign that involves many tactics and is democratic. ANSWER needs to be chucked overboard. Do I want to see ANSWER fail? Absolutely!
