UFPJ always got nervous whenever anyone brought up the role Zionism (and manifested by the U.S. support for Israel) plays in MidEast policy. Clearly it seems Bennis's role is to obscure this issue with slogan such as "War For Oil" or "U.S. Imperialism" Great comments.

From what I have seen, there is no real anti- war movement in the USA. Maybe the anti-war movement was killed by the "anybody-but-Bush" movement. Most who claim to be anti war support Capitalism - which needs war to sustain itself. I guess it all depends on how “anti” anti war a person is.

The American "peace movement " hasn't effected shit since the war started. 100 car bombs have done more to stop the U.S. from rolling over Iraq and into Tehran than all the votes, letters, and days of lobbying Pelosi that Bennis has organized put together.

She no more represents the US peace movement than Lindsy Lohan represents Alcoholics Anonymous. Bennis is a carrerist liberal.

I gotta tell you .. that was one good day! You are so right on! Sometimes I think it is just me who "gets" it, but I was wrong. YOU do get it . this is just further confirmation. I think these new wars - and they psychosis that goes with them - have made everybody really daft and dissociated from very REAL pain. Rather than selling out to build a less impassioned "movement", people like Ms. Bennis should be growing ever MORE strident about waking people up. They must be ever pointing out how resistance deaths are just MORE evidence of how wrongheaded/bad hearted the ruling class/powers that be really are. Great commentary.

Of course UFPJ and their ilk has become part of the problem in the church of any body but a Republican, which I said over 2 years ago. Your article is a contribution to the broad people's struggles.
