There are three things that occur to me as being related, and I make no promise to describe that relation in any depth… only to suggest some connections and solicit more collective wisdom.

(1) The UFPJ/ANSWER decision to conduct a joint action on September 24th.
(2) The role of Moveon.org in Cindy Sheehan’s action in Crawford, TX.
(3) Tom Hayden’s proposed “exit strategy” from Iraq.

The most important task over the next month – at least from where I am standing – is to use the momentum created by the Cindy Sheehan breakthrough at Crawford to ramp up the largest possible demonstration against the war for September 24th in Washington DC. Psuedo-leftist “exit strategies,” blaming Republicans for the war (instead of the entire dominant class), or trying to turn this into a recruiting opportunity for small leftist sects, are obstacles to this process. Turning this war into a political liability will do more for every form of resistance to imperialism in every location around the world, as well as the internal colonies of the US, than all the policy fights or all of the pristinely perfect left-maximalist programs in the world.
