Sorry Kay, but my feelings about Code Pink aren't complicated at all. Any anti-war group whose work is spurring The San Francisco Chronicle to write leads like "Dozens of flag-waving military supporters squared off boisterously with peace activists Wednesday in the first major showdown over a U.S. Marine Corps recruiting station" had better rethink its tactics. Code Pink's Medea Benjamin says "We feel that it's our obligation because of this war to shut down the recruiting station." That's silly. When you focus your protesting on the military, you distract from the argument over the war. It's a staggeringly bad idea.
