On March 21, members of the Workers International League participated in the anti-war demonstrations in Washington, DC, San Francisco, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Columbia, Missouri. Although this year's protests were smaller than in the past, sales of Socialist Appeal and other political books and booklets indicate increasing interest in the ideas of revolutionary Marxism.

The Minneapolis branch of the Workers International League participated today in an anti-war demonstration organized by the Iraq Peace Action Coalition, as part of a national weekend of anti-war and immigrant rights actions. There were only 150 to 200 people present, but it was a lively and energetic crowd, chanting slogans, listening to speakers and music, and discussing the war, the economy, and the elections. |

The antiwar movement, like the war itself, has had quite an intricate history of development.

U.S. involvement in these two wars has now gone on longer than its direct involvement in World War I, World War II and Korea combined. |
