Couple things. First, I expected to see more Greens out. Maybe I missed their banners, but I was looking, and I also didn't see a number of the more recent activists who've come on since Nader's first run in 2000. Were you folks there? Did I just miss you with the camera? Second, re the call to focus the peace movement, this action did focus -- on a key targeted community that recruiters have been swarming over for the last five years. One of the most pernicious aspects of the so-called Dream Act that ILL Senator Dick Durbin is so fond of is an incentive to give citizenship to young Latinos who enlist. Naturally, this hasn't prevented ICE from moving to deport the family members of immigrant troopers killed in Iraq. The war on immigrants at home IS related to US wars for empire abroad. It IS related to the general national war on youth and people of color. These issues are not disconnected, no matter how much white liberals might want to believe this -- or to believe that we just need to give Obama a chance. That magical thinking got us a Democratic majority in Congress two years ago that did nothing to stop funding for the war, filibuster against expanding the war, or pushing against US foreign policy extremes. This administration, despite the magical thinking, can be expected to do no better -- unless we make them.
