We have the same anti -war movement and not the same passion.

If you have wondered what's happened to the anti-war effort after President Obama was elected, you'll want to read - Anti-war groups battle for survival. One part of the recommended piece:
“We don’t have a very vibrant anti-war movement anymore,” lamented Medea Benjamin, founder of Code Pink, one of the anti-war movement’s most visible organizations. “The issues have not changed very much. … Now we have a surge [in Afghanistan] that we would have been furious about under George Bush, yet it’s hard to mobilize people under Obama. We have the same anti -war movement and not the same passion.”

The real question will be what will happen the next presidential cycle.
