[lbo-talk] Straw in the wind: Republican base dividing on Iraq

[Peter Lavelle]

Isn't there a misunderstanding what the term "anti-war

manifestations
against the war is limited, but that is not the venue
where people are expressing thier opinions. It is
places like this forum where real disent is manifest.
The internet is the soapbox and it is making a
difference. I don't know if it is true, but I have
heard anti-war.com gets more hits than the LA Times.
