I agree that it doesn't reflect well on "the left" that they don't seem to have an anti-war movement especially when it's most needed.
I also agree that avoiding nuclear war might be a good idea, regardless of who is doing it. What I don't agree with is that this rally is really aiming to do that.
Some of the speakers clearly are "of the left" and have a track record of organising against war but the main organisers are the Libertarians and the Larouche crew who I think are trying to raise their profile rather than push the stated aim.
I guess time will tell and we might see Jimmy Dore and Jackson Hinckle go into an anti-war funding and organising frenzy (or they might just keep name checking this rally on every episode of their channels to show how radical they are).
