Stop the Next War Before It Starts -

Ron Jacobs states what to many is very obvious in light of the 39% opinion poll rate. Something has to happen:

It's time for the antiwar movement to take U.S. threats against Iran and Syria very, very seriously. Not only are stories of such threats appearing at an increasing rate in the media, they now seem to be a topic of concern on Capitol Hill and at the United Nations. Condi Rice, war hound that she is, made it quite clear that the White House considers it to be its prerogative to militarily attack these countries if it so desires. We're not talking covert actions or even armed clashes like those recently reported along Syria's border with Iraq. We're talking about an invasion of Syria and/or Iran by air and (probably) land forces.

Jacobs also points out a very disturbing fact:

Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin. In recent years, the GOP has proven itself to be a stronger opposition party, while the Democrats seem to fold as soon as they are out of power. The reason for this is simple: the Democratic agenda is so similar to the more aggressive Republican one that it is unable to present any fundamental policy differences, especially when it is not in the driver's seat.

It is clear that ending the war and the war-mentality will mean sweeping many politicians out of office (from both sides). Now all we need are some politicos who want peace, diplomacy, justice... That is the critical point.
