Anti-War Movement Spreading to Grass Roots ?
Still too early to be sure
*
There is no question,however, that more and more people are voicing doubt about the decision to go to war against Iraq and the president's handling of the war. Recent polls conducted by various organizations clearly point to a change and the change is not confined to the so called "blue" states. Heartening sign.
From Petula Dvorak's report in The Washington Post "Antiwar Rally Will Be A First For Many":
"The seasoned protesters who organized tomorrow's antiwar demonstration are well-versed in many other causes. They have marched and rallied against police brutality, racism, colonialism and the policies of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
But their message on the Mall tomorrow will be singular: "End the war in Iraq."
More power to them. Let's hope for a groundswell.
