What bs."There is little question that were it not for the anti-war movement, the United States would have gone to war against Iraq already."

<Today's anti-war movement is far more diverse in terms of women and people of color in positions of leadership.> How many colours are there moving? It's interesting that the anti-war movement leaders have a wide range of colours, which perhaps forms fascinating patterns. The movement could write messages in the crowd using the various colours. They could make pictures, like a tv set. "Okay, you red ones move over there by the green ones and you yellow guys huddle together". Having many types of women is good too. But they don't say what types of women they have compared with the anti Vietnam war motion. But what about the size of the movement? Are these movers weightier than the Vietnam war movement? Imagine if they are all 100 kg brutes and they really get moving - they could crush the opposition literally. The little hippies from San Francisco took nearly a decade to crush the "I'm for the War" proponents and needed to get a LOT of Americans moving. Also, how diverse is the movement in height? If there is great diversity in height as there is in colour and chromosomes, the movement could get an excellent 3D effect. There could be dwarves and basketball players. If a few tall, green ones, with melanin-rich bodies, like Dennis Rodham stood among a lot of white dwarves, it would look like a forest. That would be so cool. It's annoying that the chromosomists, and colourists in the movement are mentioned, but there is no information on the diversity of weight, or diversity in verticality of the movement and it's leaders.
