September could see the coalescing of an anti-war movement that both bedevils the White House and divides a Democratic Party that seeks to benefit from a losing war, without having to offer a plan to win it or end it, without being held accountable for having supported it, or responsible for undercutting it.Pat Buchanan is right, you know. The Democrats are like a team who keeps getting on base due to errors and fails to score every inning. He says Cindy Sheehan has become an anti-war catalyst since there has been no Democrat to step up and lead an anti-war movement. Our party's rising stars are young and are waiting for the dinosaurs to die out, but I don't think they should wait anymore. We need leadership NOW. Forget the DLC.
Congressman John Conyers has the potential to take charge of this movement. If he and Kucinich could hook up, a real anti-war movement could take off, but the question is, are we willing to risk a rift in the Demcratic Party at a time when we are becoming increasingly united in preparation for 2006 and 2008? I'm not sure what the answer is.
The gops are worried. It's time to take advantage of it.
