Operation Cease-something

http://www.opceasefire.org

So, I'm going to this, but mostly to see what happens and listen to Le Tigre. Isn't it a little late? Not to mention the impossibility of any clean exit at this point, both ethically and practically. I have a proposal for a shift in the direction of this protest, inspired by Bill Maher's closing speech in last week's show. The left contains a multitude of viewpoints about every issue, and certainly not everyone at the anti-war events will agree with the inevitable Down with Israel posters and the anti-globalization anarchists that will also be in force because of the IMF summit that weekend. What everyone has in common is a disapproval of Bush and his administration of this war. Last week Maher called for a "California-style" recall of Bush, and given his low approval ratings right now, I would venture that this is a stronger likelihood than "stopping the war in Iraq." What do you think? Shall I start this meme going and find a way to inform every indie kid on their way what the new agenda is?
