Segment Host: 
Eric Mann

060429_protest_vmed_1p.widec.jpgWith President Obama making a major national address trying to sell a massive expansion of the 8-year US war in Afghanistan to an increasingly weary public, what are the key strategic and tactical questions facing the US anti-war movement? Should anti-war activists focus on stopping Congressional funding for an additional 30,000 troops? What are groups like United for Peace and Justice and Veterans for Peace proposing to build active opposition to an already unpopular war? Eric Mann in conversation with Michael McPhearson, a Gulf War combat veteran and father of a current Iraq war veteran who now directs Veterans for Peace, and Carolyn 'Rusti' Eisenberg, who leads legislative work for United for Peace and Justice.
