MoveOn Remains Silent on Wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan

The most powerful grassroots organization of the peace movement, MoveOn, remains silent as the American wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan simmer or escalate.

The executive director of MoveOn, Justin Ruben, met with President Obama in February, told the president it was “the moment to go big,” then indicated that MoveOn would not be opposing the $94 billion war supplemental request, nor the 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, nor the increased civilian casualties from the mounting number of Predator attacks.

1. The falling in line of many "liberal" groups now that they (think) they have a place at
the table of power is pretty disgusting. Imagine their "surprise" when things don't change.

Like a large part of the Democratic Party.

Ever get the feeling that most of our politics is nothing but a giant Kabuki Theater to keep the dirty masses in line?
