Take Part in History, Stop a War (Alternet)

"The Public Has Never Stopped a President from Going to War Before, But That Might Be About to Change with Syria"

"If we are successful in stopping an attack on Syria, it will teach the movement something very important. Movements need to be independent of the two parties to win. We need to be willing to push people from both parties to support our view and applaud people from both parties who do so. Or, as Martin Luther King Jr. explained: “I feel someone must remain in the position of non-alignment, so that he can look objectively at both parties and be the conscience of both—not the servant or master of either.”
