I'm very encouraged by the huge antiwar movement, but I think that many people aren't being honest with themselves about how hard this really is. I don't buy into the argument that most peace activists are being realistic about the outcome of our activism.

Things may seem dire, but their is some cause for optimism. Who ever thought 
that slightly more than one year after 9-11 that the world would stand united 
against George Bush? Who would have thought that the American people would be 
evenly divided about going to war? Capitalism isn't looking so hot these days 
and even the capitalists are talking about being socially responsible. On the 
anarchist front, more and more folks are becoming anarchists and we've really 
shown people in recent years what anarchism is all about.
