Ok, I know this has been suggested and covered here before, but I'm coming into this late and there is a LOT of threads in the New World Crisis catagory that I'm still going through, so I hope you won't think it too redundant. . .
There are a lot of other message boards on the net where people go to talk about the war, most new sites have them and I'll bet there are a lot of government sites that have them too (though I haven't checked them yet). How abot we here at Barbelith start going to these other message boards and start spreading around the information that most people aren't getting. Links to sites, arguments for why the war is bad on so many levels, criticisms of the media, links to good sites like znet, etc.
Now that I think of it, some of the posts here are so well written and well thought out that you could probably just copy and paste them directly to the other message boards (for those who don't feel like typing these long arguments over and over again). A lot of the pople at this site seem to be very good at keeping cool headed in the face of ignorance, so this group probably is the best for the job. I've heard that a lot of sites will just delete or censor anti-war posts, but if enough of us do this, (or prefferably all of us) I think we can be heard.
Emailing government officials and news organizations is another thing I've started doing. I wrote to CNN, and I'm going to go to their messege boards after I post this here, and do some more emailing tonight. Its much more cathartic than fantasizing about strangling the people on CNN 
So a big giant internet culture jam is what I'm thinking about. The more of us who do it the better the chance of somebody who's never heard any of this before reading it and maybe thinking a bit more openly. If there's a thread already covering this that I haven't found yet, could somebody link me to it?
Thanks for reading
