Polls
show Americans want out of the business of running the world. They're
sick of perpetual war and they think Washington should mind its
own business. And yet we still hear the war whoops of the politicians
and their pet pundits, intent on ginning up new wars for other people
to fight.
The reason for
this disconnect is that the War Party has a powerful Washington
lobby: they give money to elected officials, they have a firm hand
on the "mainstream" media, and they live all in the Washington
bubble where running the world is just another day in the
lives of Very Important People.
Outside the
Beltway, a rebellion is brewing as the public response to
Obama's decision to bomb Syria showed. That time, the public rose
up and said "NO!" And the politicians backed down. Antiwar.com
was a big part of the campaign to stop that folly but we
can't continue to mobilize the public for peace without your
help.

up tomorrow and find ourselves at war once again.
