The Incredible Disappearance Of Anti-War Groups

When George Bush was in office, the media was constantly focused on the antics of anti-war campaigners like Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink.  But, since Obama took office, more than three years ago, those people have all but completely disappeared off the political landscape.  They were nowhere to be seen when President Obama authorized a troop surge in Afghanistan.  Nor, were they around when he authorized increased drone attacks in both Pakistan and Yemen.  This despite the fact that the drones were producing a lot of collateral, civilian deaths. Then there was the  U.S. military involvement in the support of the overthrowing of Libyan strongman, Gaddafi. Where were they then?

It just seems to me that the anti-war movement was more about politics and less about war.  Actually, more about being anti-Republican and anti-George W. Bush.  For that reason, the anti-war movement has diminished itself and is no longer worth listening to; either now or in the future.
