The "anti-war crowd" is easy to find, but that doesn't mean the corporate press pays it the slightest attention.I didn't say all, just overwhelming majority. The "anti-war" crowd was nowhere to be found when the warmongering in Afghanistan skyrocketed and the villagers were driving truckloads of civilian bodies to the us posts.
The war in Afghanistan had overwhelming support when it started. Who opposed it at the outset and then switched when Bush left office?
In 2001 it had overwhelming support when we wanted to teach Osama Bin Laden and those responsible a lesson. Even the leader of the Taliban Mullah Mohammed Omar had no idea of the plans for 9/11 or what Osama was doing behind the scenes. Yes he shouldn't have protected him all along, but it's clear to me that the purpose of the war in 2001 was FAR different than the purpose of the war in 2009 and beyond.
Those responsible for 9/11 were either long gone from Afghanistan or dead in 2009, so it's been a pointless war for quite awhile and yet the "anti-war" crowd is still nowhere to be found. Again because they weren't anti-war, they were democrats posing as such.
March 19th is the next date when thousands of Americans will take to the streets to oppose the mass murder in Afghanistan and the corporate profits it generates.
Don't expect much coverage in the capitalist press.
