[Marxism] Re: Thoughts On the US and UK Antiwar Movements

[Steffie Brooks <steffie.brooks@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm incredibly frustrated at the lack of focus and will on the part of
antiwar "leaders" in the U.S. as well as gratified by the number of
local antiwar initiatives. The majority of the U.S. population wants
out of Iraq. Forthcoming economic hits should deepen that sentiment.
Further revelations of government corruption and abridgement of
Constitutional rights will also help. But we are adrift!

Could you, or anyone else, please refresh my memory on how the Feb.
15, 2003 mobilization was initiated and organized. All i can remember
is the masses of people in the freezing weather in NYC. But maybe we
should reexamine that high tide mark. How did it spread so fast around
the world? Where did it start?
