Is there a more effective way to stop a war?
Barbara at Mahablog believes the Surge For Peace march yesterday was not an exercise in effectiveness.
I agree. I mean, who’s left to convince? Saudi shiekhs, the CEOs of Lockheed Martin and Exxon Mobil, Joe Lieberman, freeper fartbubblers, and Hillary-John McClinton?
Sure, there needs to be a maintenance of pressure to end the war, just to keep any Dem wafflers from signing on to the anti-democracy Bush’s Unabummer Manifesto. But there’s a looming war around the next corner in Persiancarpetland.
That one could trigger a response from mainstream Muslims globally and pit us against billions, solely for the benefit of the profiteers and royal imperialists.
If we congregate, let us add ten thousand ordinary citizens from the countries Bush is demonizing. Let us bring the Muslim Main Streets to the nightly news, to counter the Wall Street gangbangers.
And it can’t hurt to be more pro-active in support of repatriated combat veterans, especially the physically and psychicly wounded.
In short, let’s lead with progressive infomercials that utilize our Net-abled global interactivities, instead of re-fighting a propaganda war we’ve finally won.
