Well then if there's no solution stop complaining about it
Pack up your tofu and solar powered pup tents, stop blogging and go home. My regret still stands. At best people put in a token effort and one that often seemed over self dramatized for the sake of illuminating certain individuals at the expense of success. What after all, did all the Cindy Sheehans accomplish when their main story became themselves, and then they allowed themselves to be coopted by groups even more radical than they are? What did more people attending DailyKos Book signings than raising hell with your Congressperson buy you?
No, in the end, the biggest truth is that the anti war movement is for the most part a lot of dilettantes in it for the personal glory and satisfaction and to get chicks.
