Is anyone available to go to this, happening tomorrow (Thurs.) at
7:30 at Alice Campbell Alumni Center?<br>
<br>
Some of us talked at last weekend's AWARE demo, and I didn't find
anyone who was able to go on Thu. Can you?<br>
<br>
Carl suggested an informational picket. That sounds like a great
idea.<br>
<br>
If I were there, I'd think to bring a sign saying:<br>
"Cohen: You Supported Invading Iraq. // Why Should We Believe You
Now?"<br>

<div>In 1997, Cohen co-founded the Project for the New American
Century (PNAC), which was a center for prominent
neoconservatives. He has been a member of the Defense Policy
Board Advisory Committee, a committee of civilians and retired
military officers that the U.S. Secretary of Defense may call
upon for advice, that was instituted during the administration
of President George W. Bush. He was put on the board after
acquaintance Richard Perle put forward his name.[5] Cohen has
referred to the War on Terrorism as “World War IV”.[6] In the
run-up to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, he was a member of
Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, a group of prominent
persons who pressed for an invasion.<br>

<div>Cohen was one of the first neoconservatives to publicly
advocate war against Iran and Iraq. In a November 2001 op-ed
for The Wall Street Journal, Cohen identified what he called
World War IV and advocated the overthrow of Iran's
government as a possible next step for the Bush
Administration. Cohen claimed "regime change" in Iran could
be accomplished with a focus on "pro-Western and
anticlerical forces" in the Middle East and suggested that
such an action would be "wise, moral and unpopular (among
some of our allies)". He went on to argue that such a policy
was as important as the then identified goal of Osama Bin
Laden's capture: "The overthrow of the first theocratic
revolutionary Muslim state and its replacement by a moderate
or secular government, however, would be no less important a
victory in this war than the annihilation of bin Laden."</div>
