What you mean is that there is not a _large_ movement: 200 in Columbus, nearly that many here, presumably comparable numbers elsewhere, _is_ a movement.
It would appear (correctly) even as a largish movement if you made the correct comparison -- not to the anti-Vietnam War movement but to the Anti-Korean war movment of the '50s and the Central-America Solidarity Movement of the early '80s. And both of those movements were successful, _highly_ successful in the only way such particular struggles except under extraordinary conditions can be: there were more activists left over for the nexe occasion than there had been before the movements started.
The current movement needs _only_ not to grow smaller to be as much of a success as any conceivable left program at this time could be.
