Is there a reason why the mainstream news never voices antiwar? Why do we never hear about antiwar websites?
According to a website called dissentmagazine.com, two of the longest wars in American history fully decline the kind of structured, constant opposition that appeared throughout almost every other major armed battle the United States has fought over the past two centuries. Most of the time members in groups such as Code Pink will get arrested for bantering at congressional hearings. Antiwar websites represent "clear houses" for debate and conversation. However, it has been a long time since any form of antiwar debate or protest has been expressed largely enough to gain public attention or concern.
Spring Rising Anti-War Intervention: March 2015, on the twelfth anniversary of the invasion. Only gathered a few hundred people to the capital city, with no news about it on the mainstream media or press.
As emphasized in the article I mentioned above, the main reason for the antiwar movement is due to the enemies that the United States has been fighting since the plunge in 2001.
Enemies such as:
-Al Qaeda
-The Taliban
- Saddam Hussein’s regime
-ISIS
It is hard for people to forget the fact that several nations could be controlled by avenging jihadists who regularly kill anyone who doesn’t share their severe belief while capturing women and forbidding them from attending school.
Many Americans have become very tired and exhausted from these wars in the Middle East, however, this exhaust will not inspire citizens to partake in speeches, meetings, protests, or Congress.
