On Where Can That Littlle Left Be?

Asked about the anti-war left's response to past, present, and future events in Syria, Dennis Kucinich had a question of his own.



"What anti-war left?" he asked.



The longtime editor of Antiwar.com, voiced a similar sentiment.



"What anti-war groups?"




A veteran activist with progressive nonprofit Roots Action had this to say:



"The Democrats are missing in action because the President is a Democrat. That's the biggest factor, I think. What's tamping down the activism is partisanship."



Even the most prominent anti-war groups have seen their numbers dwindle since 2008.... Some just don't have the numbers to pull off effective demonstrations and rallies...


Some seemed to believe that once Obama took office, wars would end and their efforts would no longer be required... We'd be too busy gazing at rainbows and eating oodles of cotton candy in a harmonious paradise...







How's that workin' out for you?
