Lately the anti-war movement has been doing nothing much but sputtering and stalling. Sure, there have been some pretty major demonstrations (over 300,000 in D.C. in the cold January weather is pretty darn good if you ask me), but it's getting nowhere. The present administration has said on numerous occasions that it simply could not give a shit about the anti-war movement. Some have hope for the Democrats, while the logical amongst us know that's not going to get us anywhere.
But a recent development may be pointing to a real end of the war. Recently, over 1,600 soldiers have signed an appeal for redress to stop the Iraq war, a form of protest permitted by military rules whereby everyone from grunts to the highest ranks can voice their objections to ordered actions.
