Is there ANY reason for "safe, polite, respectable" antiwar activism anymore?

[Ken Burch]

We're STILL in Iraq. We're STILL in Afghanistan.

Thousands of people are still dying in those places for no reason. And we now know that neither war is winnable, given that Karzai is no longer on our side.

And the president we've elected is still increasing the war budget.

Given all of the above, why should we WORRY about being respectful to politicians, or about whose office gets occupied?

Hasn't the time come to say "Fuck Politeness! Fuck Deference! Fuck 'Respectability'! Resistance NOW!" and to find new(nonviolent, but new) tactics to force our leaders to do what's right?

Why even pretend that anything short of massive confrontation is worth doing?
