Fred Mason: "Working People Want This War to End!"

On Saturday, September 15, 2007, the ANSWER Coalition, a progressive antiwar group, sponsored a Mass March and Die-In in Washington, D.C. Its purpose was to raise the consciousness of enough people in this country to stop the illegal and immoral Iraq War and to prevent the Bush-Cheney Gang from launching a war against Iran. The rally took place in Lafayette Park, just north of the White House, where a number of prominent speakers were heard. One of the speakers was Fred Mason. He is the President of the Maryland and District of Columbia, AFL-CIO. He said: "Working people want this war to end." He added that Congress should "cut off the funding and bring the troops home."

AP, 9/17/07: "Iran is not a suicide nation...we have the power to deter Iran, should it become nuclear. There are ways to live with a nuclear Iran ...they'll never be able to compete with us in our true military might and power. War, in the state-to-state sense, in that part of the region would be devastating for everybody, and we should avoid it..." -- Gen. John Abizaid, recently retired commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East
