As antiwar groups grow, so do their differences

WASHINGTON Leaders of the anti-Iraq war movement expect 100,000 demonstrators to descend on Washington this weekend. But as it prepares to encircle the White House, the antiwar coalition is quietly divided.

Some major groups, including the organizers of the protest, United for Peace and Justice, demand that the United States withdraw immediately from Iraq. Others, including MoveOn.org, back resolutions calling for a pullout starting in late 2006.

At a moment when the groups say they are steadily gaining support, each faction asserts that the other's message is undermining their common cause.

In a statement last month, the Green Party of the United States accused MoveOn.org of having "undermined such antiwar efforts by refusing to endorse an immediate end to the occupation of Iraq."
