OK, Peace Movement! Lots of folks protesting before the war started. People out protesting right now! Before, "No War" simply meant "don't fire the gun, George." What does "No war" mean now? What do we mean when we call for Peace now that Iraqis and Americans are dying? Add your comments here
What about after the war? What do we want to see happen in the Middle East region if -as is likely- there is "regime change" in Iraq? Are there ways the antiwar movement can expand to deal with a post-Iraq scenario?
In the spirit of healthy self-criticism, here are some recent "left" critiques of the anti-war movement:
--Geov Parish on the anti-war movement's tactics.
--Perry Anderson, of New Left Review fame, tactically critiques the language of the anti-war movement's arguments.
--Peter Linebaugh rebuts Anderson's essay and posits an alternative audience for that language.
--LA Weekly opinion piece that accepts the inevitability of the war, yet suggests ways of stopping the empire's expansion.
--In an overview of the historical moment, Arundhati Roy heralds the movement and calls for more.
--source0 on keeping up the pressure on the streets.
