The Antiwar Movement Takes Shape Another point of tension in the movement is the question of sanctions. Todd Gitlin, writing in Mother Jones magazine, bemoaned the antiwar coalition’s hostility to sanctions, which have killed many thousands over the years and stunted an entire generation of Iraqis. But this is a fundamental moral point that cannot be compromised by any antiwar movement worthy of the name: if an anti-sanctions stance banishes opponents of U.S. policy to the fringe, then they are in good company with the Pope and the National Council of Catholic Bishops.
