This is like a real life replaying of that moment in John Carpenter's "They Live" where Roddy Piper dons the glasses for the first time and see what really lies beneath obvious "reality."
Lerner is now learning that the anti-war movement has no strategy? What's it going to take to get him and others to listen to those of us who have been saying this for year? Marching around in circles is not a strategy. Electing Democrats is not a strategy.
You want strategy? Bring the anti-war movement out to Independence, Missouri for a visit to the Lake City ammo plant. That plant supplies *all* of the small arms ammunition being used in the ongoing war. Shut down that plant for a week and you'll have the warmongers by the balls.
Maybe what we need is a Moveon anti-war group that tells the current leadership of the anti-war movement to cook something or get out of the kitchen.
