[Peace-discuss] [sf-core] Fw: dsa local

[C. G. ESTABROOK]

Will it continue to offer 'critical support' to the Obama administration?

DSA's essential founder, Michael Harrington, offered similar critical support to 
the Kennedy-Johnson administration during Vietnam, a disastrous and immoral
policy.  DSA seems to be repeating these errors in re AfPak.

I met and liked Harrington (who is credited with coining the term
neoconservatism), and his book Socialism is worth reading, but his practical
politics were at best wrong-headed. Has DSA learned nothing & forgotten nothing?
