Movement in search of a cause
A few thousand people got damp at a rally in Seattle yesterday. The Seattle Times called it an "anti-war" rally, but the banners in the newspaper photo told a different story:
CIVIL UNIONS FOR ALL. UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. STOP ARMING DICTATORS. SUPPORT FAMILY FARMS. FAIRNESS IN LENDING. VOTER BILL OF RIGHTS.
These issues, of course, have no connection with the war in Iraq, except perhaps STOP ARMING DICTATORS -- and that was the explicit goal of the war, an irony lost on the crowd. The anti-war movement has been hijacked by the professional left, and as a consequence has failed to achieve anything.
The real war in Iraq today is being waged against the Iraqi people by terrorists who blow up civil servants and behead women and children for kicks. But no one in Seattle marches against that war.
