In conclusion, public interest in war and peace issues is at a low ebb right now partly as a consequence of the peace-movement's success in helping to end the war that drew the greatest public opposition. All successful social movements experience similar moments of let-down at the partial accomplishment of their goals. If we can take a moment to step back and recognize our partial success, we can fight off the depression and frustration that prevents us from replicating that success: first with Afghanistan, and then by using the Iraq and Afghanistan experience to build a permanent antiwar majority.
