Ah, ok. I thought he was talking about a US peace movement, for some reason. Probably the drugs.

Just in case somebody hasn't beat me to it, there was a US movement to stay out of the war as well. In fact, FDR ran on a promise not to send troops. This was discussed just a couple of weeks ago.
In Europe, the anti-war movement was largely sponsored by the Comintern, as a socialist opposition to the bourgeois war machine. In the US, it was a largely isolationist sentiment, although there was a significant amount of anti-semitic, pro-Aryan propoganda as well. Witness Charles Lindbergh's enthusiastic participation as a spokesman for the German-American Friendship League.
