Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

Dear World Can't Wait Supporter,

I saw this in the NY Times Magazine last Sunday, and am sending it to people who think the Democratic Party is going to end the war.

"The Undeparted" by Noah Feldman 4-8-07

"On the surface, recent votes in Congress appear to signal a new Democratic determination to withdraw from Iraq. But the reality is otherwise. It is not only that the resolutions were drafted and adopted with the certain knowledge that they would be vetoed. More important, even if a future Democratic president did try to implement the new plans, the results would likely end up looking oddly similar to the Bush administration’s current strategy. In politics as in war, things are seldom what they seem…"

It makes me think of our Call: "That which you do not resist and mobilize to stop you will learn – or be forced – to accept."
