[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] Thanks to all who joined the demonstration today *to oppose war*

[C. G. Estabrook]

Not a lot of MoveOn or AAEI folks, though, were there?

I think in fact it was a splendid success.  We should try to continue to build 
coalitions of people really opposed to the wars -- which would not of course 
include mainline Democrats or Republicans.  But the people you mention, as well 
as pacifists, radicals and paleo-conservatives, should be encouraged to draw the 
line against the Clinton-Obama-McCain-Romney-etc. people -- those who are in 
favor of continuing the war policy.  It seems to me that one of AWARE's tasks in 
the near term should be to make that distinction clear.  --CGE
