	Antiwar_Movement
		The antiwar movement against Vietnam in the US from 1965-1971 was the most significant movement of its kind in the nation's history.
		Antiwar activists carried on through the pause with their own programs, and the scattered teach-ins had become more of a problem for President Johnson when their organizers joined in an unofficial group, the Inter-University Committee for a Public Hearing on Vietnam.
		One problem of the antiwar movement was the difficulty of finding ways to move beyond protest and symbolic acts to deeds that would actually impede the war.

	Report on the American Antiwar Movement
		The march was large—some 20 to 30 thousand—and the antiwar movement was solidified on the basis of non-exclusion, self-determination for Vietnam, and mass action; and it was launched by a section of the student movement breaking from the tutelage of reformism.
		Antiwar sentiment had expanded considerably and combined with the efforts of the antiwar movement, the effect by Thanksgiving, 1966, was to convince more of the old line peace groups to participate in and mobilize for antiwar action.
		April 15 was a demonstration by the antiwar movement of the breadth of mass opposition to the war and the possibility of organizing it.

	The Anti-War Movement in the United States
		King's statements rallied African American activists to the antiwar cause and established a new dimension to the moral objections of the movement.
		The peaceful phase of the antiwar movement had reached maturity as the entire nation was now aware that the foundations of administration foreign policy were being widely questioned.
		Antiwar sentiment, previously tainted with an air of anti-Americanism, became instead a normal reaction against zealous excess.

	Boston.com / Rebuilding Iraq
		Antiwar protesters young and old flooded the East Side of Manhattan yesterday as millions more across America and around the globe rallied against US plans for military action in Iraq.
		As a possible war against Iraq draws closer, antiwar leaders are stepping up their tactics and refocusing their strategy this week toward putting direct pressure on political officeholders in Washington.
		As disagreements over the war in Iraq ignite public controversy, it's worth recalling that antiwar protest is not an artifact of the Vietnam era but a tradition as old and venerable as the United States itself.

	Monthly Review July-August 2003 Barbara Epstein
		Antiwar organizers point out that protest against the war was based on people’s understanding of the broad implications of the war.
		It is taken for granted, in the antiwar movement, that the Bush administration wants both oil and power, and that the close relationship between the Bush administration and the oil companies is a factor in the administration’s actions.
		The racial imbalance of the antiwar movement is more likely to improve as a result of attention to outreach and to creating an environment within the movement in which people of color as well as whites will feel welcomed and will be treated with respect.

	The Antiwar Movement Takes Shape
		Antiwar sentiment is surging, but the president may launch an attack before the movement gains critical mass.
		This is the one opening that could fuel the antiwar movement and give it the broad character it needs to spike the neoconservative project of an all-out global war against the Muslim world.
		Among the antiwar left-liberals, the UN has the status of a sacred totem: it is the deus ex machina of their little morality play, always an unconvincing plot device that may necessitate a surprise ending.

		Ironically, Murphy's attitude--like that of thousands of soldiers, who are returning, disillusioned and enlightened from the so-called Iraqi theater--could be good news for the U.S. antiwar movement, which is planning to take to the streets this weekend to mark the two-year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
		Disaffected Americans contributed millions upon millions of antiwar dollars and volunteer hours to the Kerry campaign, only to realize, as their bumper-sticker adhesive solidified, that their candidate was only a little less pro-war than Bush.
		Whatever wedges got driven into the post-9/11 antiwar movement, including ongoing disagreements over how best to deal with Israel-Palestine, those at the helm of current efforts to remobilize the movement claim to have driven MLK's principles to the core of their beliefs.

	The great unmentionable at the Democratic convention: Kerry's antiwar past
		Many antiwar Democratic voters and “left” liberals may be telling themselves that the flag-waving glorification of militarism will be jettisoned when and if Kerry takes office, that it is necessary as a campaign tactic to defuse Republican attacks, etc., but they are deluding themselves.
		Kerry’s opposition to the war never went beyond characterizing it as a terrible and tragic policy “mistake” that needed to be corrected, and even at the time the element of self-promotion in his antiwar activities was recognized by critics, but there is no reason to doubt the sincerity of his remarks.
		An imperialist war that caused the deaths of millions of Southeast Asians and tens of thousands of Americans, that was recognized as a moral abomination and an affront to democratic values by wide layers of the US population, is now being painted in respectable and honorable colors.

	Antiwar rallies: how effective are they at swaying opinion? \| csmonitor.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Antiwar activists like to tell the story about how Richard Nixon used to claim he didn't pay attention to how many people showed up for war protests during the Vietnam War.
		As another weekend of coordinated antiwar efforts gets under way, one of the tools of the activist trade - the demonstration - will be on display.
		In the current campaign against a war with Iraq, large rallies are a valuable publicity tool for antiwar groups whose attempts to woo undecided Americans are frequently drowned out by a government that argues that it may be necessary to go to war.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Foundation Cash Funds Antiwar Movement by Julia Duin
		The American antiwar movement is decked out with all the elements of the counterculture, but it is getting some very establishment funding.
		For instance, the institute's 2002 foreign policy budget of $400,000, which includes antiwar activism, received $50,000 from the HKH Foundation, $50,000 from the Arca Foundation, $20,000 from the Samuel Rubin Foundation, $15,000 from the Solidago Foundation and $50,000 from the MacArthur Foundation.
		One of the leading organizers of antiwar demonstrations, International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) refused to divulge its funding sources.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: The Antiwar Right's Bent View of the World by Lawrence Auster
		The antiwar right's turn against America, their indulgence in reckless attacks on the good faith of the American government even when it was combating espionage or containing Communism, suggested to me that at bottom many antiwar critics were not motivated by a love of country or a belief in truth, but by resentment.
		The antiwar right's attack on virtually any use of U.S. power as sinister and irrational, as well as doomed to failure (a failure the antiwar right has often openly wished for), continued into the post 9/11 period.
		The key to the destructive mindset of the antiwar right, which I hope to explore in future articles, is that their ideas about politics are not the product of rational thought and a concern for the common good.

	Boston Globe Online \| John Kerry: A Candidate in the Making
		As an antiwar leader, John Kerry was arrested with hundreds of others after protesting on the green in Lexington, Mass., on May 31, 1971.
		But he said other members of the antiwar veterans group wanted to throw the medals and ribbons over a fence in front of the Capitol, and Kerry went along with the idea.
		But unlike in 1970, when Kerry was barely known, the antiwar movement had turned him into a national figure and taught him how to campaign, how to organize, how to raise money, how to use the media, even how to debate on national television.

		Millions of Americans are deeply opposed to US government policy as currently being pursued by the "War Party." The purpose of this website is to promote the creation of a new Antiwar League that unites the left and the right in principled opposition to the plans of the Republicrat Warmonger Party for perpetual war.

	Antiwar Activists To Revisit District (washingtonpost.com)
		Protesters from more than 135 cities in 38 states are expected to converge on Washington on Saturday, as busloads of antiwar demonstrators return to the capital for the first time since the fall of Baghdad in April.
		It is the first event of its kind co-sponsored by two major antiwar coalitions, International ANSWER and United for Peace and Justice, both of which coordinated some of the country's biggest peace marches this year.
		The gathering represents a resurgence of sorts of the antiwar movement, which had put its large-scale protests on hold in recent months as activists emphasized education over direct action.

	Antiwar stance led to eviction
		The union local definitely held an antiwar demonstration, but it was at the intersection of San Mateo Boulevard and Cutler Avenue, and not at its offices at 2403 San Mateo Blvd. N.E., said Hospital Workers Union Director Eleanor Chavez.
		As for disturbing other tenants, Chavez said the group met in the building's clubhouse, which it had reserved and used as a staging area for the event, but that meeting took place after 5 p.m.
		Chavez said she believes the union was evicted not because its meeting disturbed other tenants but because its antiwar stance disturbed Carolyn Mason and her family.

	The Antiwar Candidate
		They are instead the conclusions drawn by the antiwar movement about American foreign policy in reaction to Vietnam.
		Kerry's antiwar activism has so shaped his thinking that he doesn't want to confront the fact that preemptive action may sometimes be necessary in this war.
		Furthermore, Kerry suggested on CNN last week (in the spirit of the antiwar movement) that attacking terrorists can result in "actually encouraging the recruitment of terrorists." One wonders whether a President Kerry wouldn't find reasons to hesitate in prosecuting the war on terror.

		Not a day passes without American or European newspaper coverage of an antiwar demonstration - whether it be mothers against war (Washington), or witches against war (London), or an actor sleeping in a cage with a pig for three days to better understand "why humans fight" (Belgium).
		Forget the antiwar lobby's complaints that the media are ignoring their protests: The coverage they get is disproportionate to their relatively small numbers.
		There is a distinctly personal bent to many of the antiwar groups that have emerged in the past year.

		All of Nisbet's arguments are further elaborated upon in his other works and in the works of other antiwar conservatives.

	F.B.I. Scrutinizes Antiwar Rallies
		Indeed, some law enforcement officials said they believed the F.B.I.'s approach had helped to ensure that nationwide antiwar demonstrations in recent months, drawing hundreds of thousands of protesters, remained largely free of violence and disruption.
		But some civil rights advocates and legal scholars said the monitoring program could signal a return to the abuses of the 1960's and 1970's, when J. Edgar Hoover was the F.B.I. director and agents routinely spied on political protesters like the Rev. Dr.
		And the New York Police Department this year questioned many of those arrested at demonstrations about their political affiliations, before halting the practice and expunging the data in the face of public criticism.

	ZNet \|Anti War \| Ten Q&A On Antiwar Organizing
		We need a movement broad and committed enough so its continued growth is sufficiently threatening that elites decide it is better to give in and hope that doing so dissolves the impetus to movement growth, rather than to continue with their war risking what the movement might unleash.
		To switch from pro- to antiwar in sufficient numbers to cause a policy change, elites must be more threatened by the movement than they are in love with their war.
		An antiwar movement that cannot make clear its opposition to the crimes of both Bush and Hussein will of necessity be limited in size.

		The sharing of an antiwar sentiment may indeed be a powerful bond.
		That was the case with an Iraq veteran, the daughter of a Vietnam veteran, who spoke at the meeting of the extreme chaos in which neither Americans nor Iraqis could be "protected" and of her constant question of "what we were doing there."
		In that sense a shared parent-child antiwar sentiment may come to reverberate throughout society.

	The future of the antiwar movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		SINCE THE election, the antiwar movement is showing signs of revival, but the same leadership responsible for the movement’s hiatus during the presidential campaign is once again seizing the reins of control over the movement.
		These antiwar leaders have yet to acknowledge their own role in the Kerry debacle, much less the antiwar movement’s decline.
		While these antiwar leaders are looking upward (to Congress) and to their right (to conservatives) for allies, they are missing the radicalization gathering momentum below, among those rejecting their intended role as cannon fodder for the war who are already organizing protests outside the auspices of the established movement.
