| Seize the Moment, Stop the War - by Max Elbaum in Spectre Magazine (1378 words) |
 | War Times was that a missing piece of the antiwar mosaic was an accessible, consistent source of information that could be given to folks rather than something requiring people to "come to us." Already-committed activists are flooded with information (from e-mail lists, the web, subscription-based publications, and, in some areas, Pacifica or similar radio stations). |
| War Times were "educational moment," "entry-way" and "constituency consciousness." Educational moment, meaning 9-11 sparked widespread discussions of the U.S. role in the world, "why they hate us" and so on, opening doors to at least introduce radical perspectives to folks who ordinarily would not even talk about politics. |
| While people of conscience from all strata oppose this war, it is these overlapping and specially-impacted sectors which, if galvanized in their millions, can anchor a powerful antiwar movement. |
