LOS ANGELES - January 21, 2006, The fighting may be far off overseas, but Southern Californian families are among those across the nation that are losing loved ones every day.
Latest polls indicate that over 65% of Americans want an end to the war and the troops home now. Former supporters of the war have admitted that the justification for the war was based on fabricated intelligence. Top US military experts have publicly confessed the war is un-winnable and without a plan. Yet the Bush regime is intent on continuing the war and it now seems even prepared to escalate the war into a regional conflict with Iran.
Here on the home front after a full three years of some of the largest protests on record, the anti-war movement seems stalled. Perhaps the public is numbed by recent reports of government spying at local demonstrations last year. Maybe they are demoralized, by the ineffective tactics and political infighting of the anti-war movement to date. An anti-war movement, that like the war itself seems to have no clear plan on how to end the war.
What ever the reasons, none of this is good news for the local poor and working class families that are bearing the human cost of the war here on the home front.
