...is that at least _some_ people are against the war. To my surprise and delight, an anti-war march just passed my window taking up all of Mass Ave. Presumably they're marching from MIT up to Harvard. Not like it'll do anything, but it's nice to find people who agree that going to war over all this shit just doesn't make sense. I was saying to a friend not half an hour ago that maybe our generation needs a Vietnam. I'm at once sad and glad to see that it's starting. -- Riad Wahby rsw@mit.edu MIT VI-2/A 2002
I suspect that only at MIT, and certain places in the east bay in California, are where you'll find peace marches right now. I read a lot of mainstream news, and haven't come across much coverage of them... -Declan On Thu, Sep 20, 2001 at 07:34:13PM -0400, Riad S. Wahby wrote:

There are some who would attempt to capture the war protest for narrow partisan aims and the more important many that realize that it must remain broad based whith narrow focus to have maximum impact.
Please help broaden support for the effort to:
a.. Oppose the rush to war
b.. Defend people against racist attacks
c.. Protect civil liberties
