Whither the Peace Movement?

Whither the Peace Movement? What next for the newly enthused and massively expanded peace movement? Wither and die or organise, act, and fly? Don't knock what's happened. Get all Stop the War Coalition (STWC) groups to share thinking and ideas for action for change.
Swindon marched in London yesterday following a 30 person heartfelt debate last Tuesday about of course :
"Where do we go from here?"
It strikes me that such meetings and conversations are happening all over the STWC groups nationwide.
This pooling of the hundreds of STWC groups' experience, understanding and "what next scenarios" would be powerful if we could share it - (via internet at least).
Between us all we must have the commitment, imagination and courage to either start something new if needed or develop and grow what we have.
Reference some of the comments under "demo reports" on this site :
I too would like to know what happened to the flowers and momentoes placed by No 10.
I think also that if you have not been a volunteer or even a paid worker struggling with limited resources at a national level to organise the impossible then it is disrespectful to slag off their work.
In my view your positive suggestions, practical and financial help and the contribution of your expertise would be very welcome to define and progress the cause.
