But what about organizing buses to go to DC on the 29th? Or NYC and
other cities on Oct 27th?

Isn't this the problem? Incredible lack of unity in the anti-war
movement in the face of a war that is extremely unpopular?

Why at this point should any of the three "coalitions" be encouraged in
the path they are taking?

In upstate NY we are mobilizing to go to Syracuse on Sept 29 to support
a demonstration called by the IVAW. Seems a good thing to do for the
moment. Certainly as good as throwing a dart and picking one of the
three national actions.
