WTF Is It Now?!?

Antiwar Effort Gains Momentum
"It's our sons and daughters who could die."

Mothers Against War 'are buoyed to find themselves part of a fast-growing movement of people from every walk of life, from every political stripe. The extraordinary array of groups questioning the Bush administration's rationale for an invasion of Iraq includes longtime radical groups such as the Workers World Party, but also groups not known for taking stands against the government. There is a labor movement against war, led by organizers of the largest unions in the country; a religious movement against the war, which includes leaders of virtually every mainstream denomination; a veterans movement against the war, led by those who fought Iraq in the Persian Gulf a decade ago; business leaders against the war, led by corporate leaders; an antiwar movement led by relatives of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks; and immigrant groups against the war.

'There are also black and Latino organizations, hundreds of campus antiwar groups and scores of groups of ordinary citizens meeting in community centers and church basements from Baltimore to Seattle.

'On December 8 through 15, there will be a series of actions across the country. The biggest day will be Dec. 10, which is significant not only because it is Human Rights Day but also because it is the day that former president Jimmy Carter is to receive his Nobel Peace Prize. Indeed, on that day, religious groups across the country plan to stage mass acts of civil disobedience.' - from the Washington Post.

Well, that's something you don't see every day. They even got the quote "Bush's war" past the Rove propaganda machine! Huh. Like the folks at BuzzFlash, my first thought was that a headline somewhere should be Washingtoon comPost Actually Runs an Article Acknowledging a Growing Antiwar Movement!

Next: Post editor leaves to spend more time with family...

Meanwhile I'll be forced to spend December 10th stuck in this repuke-infested hellhole.
