Polls continue to reveal the deep and widespread dissatisfaction with the war in Iraq. For example, a Washington Post-ABC News poll, conducted in January, showed 61 percent in opposition to Bush’s “surge.” A more general CNN poll carried out in February, which asked, “Do you favor or oppose the U.S. war in Iraq?” found that 64 percent of those polled opposed the war.
But for all the polls, which shine light on the stance of millions in the U.S., there is an glaring absence. March 19, 2008 marks the fifth anniversary of the war on Iraq, and yet there will be no unified mass mobilization, as demanded by tens of thousands of activists nationally. |

 As the occupation of Iraq approaches its grim fifth anniversary, the anti-war movement finds itself at an impasse. The two major national anti-war groups, United For Peace & Justice (UFPJ) and Act Now to Stop War and Racism (ANSWER) will not be bringing their forces together to build the largest possible event to oppose the war – again.
ANSWER had proposed that all anti-war forces, including UFPJ, come together in a broad coalition to build a nationally focused anti-war demonstration in DC on Saturday, March 15th. UFPJ announced that they would instead be building what they hoped would be the largest non-violent civil disobedience action in DC on Wednesday March 19th, the anniversary of the war. To her credit, Cindy Sheehan attempted to bring ANSWER, UFPJ, and others together in a movement-wide united coalition to take joint action in March. However, the UFPJ steering committee backed out saying, “It was not clear how being part of another coalitional structure would help move all this work forward.” |

Based on an analysis of the anti-war movement over the years, the editorial board of Socialist Appeal puts forth the need for maximum unity in the anti-war movement. Given that the fifth anniversary of the war is rapidly approaching, a good opportunity for a united anti-war movement has emerged. |
