Anti-War?

Much valuable print space is given to photos of and statements by Americans who clamor for peace.  They condemn war at any cost.  Or do they?  A closer review of the statements and activities of these groups reveals that not only do they not give a damn about war generally, their efforts are focused not on stopping war but on condmening and impeding American response to war. 

Most of these groups are thinly veiled front organizations for political operations like the American Communists or social movements looking to take advantage of the free publicity.  In fact, if these groups were at all interested in stopping war, they'd be in Indonesia (see below) right now.

Anyone who takes a 30 break from the MSM and does one mouse click's worth of research will find that ANSWER one of the largest organizers of the anti-war rallies over the last 5 years was founded just 16 days after 9/11 by none other than Ramsey Clark, a communism supporting Democrat who served under Johnson and was the party's nominee for Senate from NY in 1974.  I won't even address the fact that he is defending the Butcher of Baghdad, Saddam Hussein.

If Clark had any interest in stopping war, why wasn't he in Saudi Arabia before September 11th protesting outside of the madrassas?  Why wasn't he in southern Lebanon picketing Hezbollah?

These groups are pursuing a political agenda whether or not the 19 year old koolaid drinking college coeds who fill the ranks are aware of it and stopping war is nothing more than a talking point.
