The Pro-War Movement Comes to Harvard

Earlier this week a group of Harvard Law students founded Students for Protecting America, a group whose motto is: DEFEND AMERICA. DEFEAT TERRORISM. DISARM IRAQ.. Their manifesto is sound, and they describe themselves as “unlikely activists.” They say that: “In order to raise awareness, Students for Protecting America is posting fliers around the Harvard campus. It plans to disseminate educational fliers supporting the cause for war and addressing counter-arguments frequently made against it. The group plans to contact other schools around the country to encourage similar forms of mobilization, and it is considering organizing a rally in the near future.” It wouldn’t hurt to give them, and other student groups that are forming around the country, some encouragement.
