They pulled it off...

In protest of the Iraq war, the West Coast ports were shut down. More effective than any march, this sort of direct action flexes the muscles of the union in a manner I've never seen in my lifetime.

I am tempted to call it "odd" that this has been planned forever, and yet has gotten virtually no attention. Instead I'll call it "shennanigans by the capitalists". I know, we're not supposed to think in those terms. If anyone can tell me a good reason that a major war protest would go virtually uncovered by the media that _doesn't_ mean "class warfare", please let me know!
