Several collectives have recently met to discuss the administrations plans to go to war with Iraq.

This reporter has been privy on plans some activists have been working on to denounce the war as a waste of money, blood, lives and time- not to mention a horrible and wrongheaded diversion from more pressing issues. They see it as a way the US corporate state plans on increasing global hegemony and increasing instutional stability in the region.

Instead of pamphleting, flyering or atttempting to increase the cultural discourse, a unique approach has been realized. Several collectives have decided to main tactical silence throughout the build-up and if and when the "war" starts, to play catch up on the issue.

On local organizer has called for a flyering campain regarding the war. The collectives who have opted for this new tactical silence have decided to continue with their new tactical silence, assured that history would show that their silence did not make a bad situation worse.

The journalist agrees with this analysis and plans on going on a hunger fast until the war starts.
