Peter,

Sounds interesting.  Have you checked out the new discussion of the war
drive on the Wildcat web site?  It is very interesting and when combined
with the piece from Modnight Notes makes for the basis of a very good intro
pamphlet to discuss with people on the war drive, specifically from two
different but related class composition approaches to the reasons for the
war drive and some problems facing the anti-war movement.

Cheers,
Chris
