[Peace-discuss] Letter from Tom Hayden to Howard Dean

[Morton K.Brussel]

This letter is prefaced with a note from Katrina vanden Heuvel of The 
Nation, a part of which says:

  …But the question facing us today is who will speak for the millions 
of Americans who believe that continued occupation increases the 
danger? Who will speak for the millions who believe that the US has 
gotten bogged down in Iraq? Who will speak out against the (majority of 
the) Democratic Party's silent consent to the Bush Administration's 
Iraq war policies? Who will speak out about the wrenching human and 
economic costs of occupation? Who will speak out in support of a clear 
and honorable exit strategy? Who will make a clear, unequivocal 
declaration that the US will not maintain permanent military bases in 
Iraq?

Then follows Hayden's very compelling letter to Dean: See:

This is all in a Democratic Party context, but I think that it is worth 
a read, and if Dean had any sense, or scruples, he would pay attention.
