[VIDEO] Timely Dialogue about Anti-War Movement...

I came across this RT conversation about the past, present, & future of the Anti-War movement, and it is incredibly insightful.  I hope you will take a few minutes to watch it & take heed.  I am new to the anti-war movement, and I have definitely turned off by the ideology & rhetoric of some.

If this 'movement' is going to become a movement, it's got to be a popular movement.  As long as we keep marginalizing ourselves by latching on to every fringe issue rather than digging in to the opposition to WAR, we're going to be the lonely group of idealists.  We need to concentrate on appealing to everybody.  Conservatives, libertarians, liberals, communists, etc. always declare a general opposition to war but when we try to join together, the ifs, ands, or buts of the situation cloud the picture.

I think this is a very serious conversation that needs to be had amongst ourselves (Across all the various organizations) & reconciled before we can effectively move forward.  10 years into these wars, something is not working.  Resigning ourselves to a state of futility at the lack of a draft or some other catalyzing force is not going to help.  We have to adapt to the situation at hand and look beyond the vaunted & ineffective methods from the Vietnam era.  The media has done a superb job at de-legitimatizing & stereotyping anti-war activists.  We need to work around these obstacles in a unifying way.
