Question:
Join ANSWER, UFPJ, NION, Bay Area United Against the War, and the Vanguard Public Foundation for a mass march and rally to demand an immediate end to the occupation of Iraq. Speakers and performers will include former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney; Ron Kovic, Vietnam War veteran and author of Born on the Fourth of July; Fernando Suarez Del Solar, father of a Marine who was killed in Iraq; and Barrio rock band Los Mocosos, among others.

Answer: I was strongly opposed to us going into Iraq when and how we did, butnow that we're in there I believe we have to see this thing through.Because if we don't Iraq might collapse into a maelstrom of civil warand/or be taken over by elements that could be a much worse threat toour national security -- like Al Qaeda -- than Saddam ever was.

So while I went to many anti-war rallies before the invasion, I'm notgoing to this one. Which has the added advantage that I won't have tohold my nose by going to another ANSWER-sponsored rally -- thatknee-jerk anti-American organization makes the Bush Administrationlook like a model of democracy and enlightenment.
