The escalation of the war in Afghanistan is quickly reducing illusions
in the Obama administration. Nationally known figures and
organizations such as Michael Moore and Veterans for Peace, who had
hoped the election of Obama might lead to peace, have issued open
letters to Obama expressing their disillusionment and disgust.

Two-hundred-and-fifty antiwar activists gathered in
Pittsburgh on July 10-12, 2009, at the National Assembly to End the Iraq and
Afghanistan Wars and Occupations (National Assembly). The first conference
sponsored by the National Assembly in 2008 drew around 400 participants, but
this year’s conference was more successful in its specific goals: objectively
evaluating the current status of the antiwar movement, developing a set of
goals that all participants could support, and agreeing to a series of steps
and actions to revitalize the antiwar movement so it can achieve these goals.

During
the course of the war, the small numbers protesting it grew
astronomically, finally embracing several million. In fact, the Vietnam
antiwar movement became the most massive social movement in American
history. How this happened is something, I believe, which warrants
serious study, not only for historical purposes, but also to help
activists in the future involved in the struggle to stop or prevent
unjust wars.

This history demonstrates that the popular resistance at
home and abroad can defeat the US military machine. To do so requires
winning the working-class majority to anti-war positions.
