War Resisters League

But one of the really striking things was as we watched the towers burning at the World Trade Center and then collapsing, it was incredible the loudness of the call by the mainstream media, also with the media, with the politicians of the two parties to go to war.

And I remember myself for the Green Party and also Dave McReynolds, a friend of mine for the War Resisters League, We put out the first calls within about two or three hours of the towers falling, saying, please, you know, do not turn our grief into a cry for war.

It happened to be that this was one moment where the world was really united in sympathy for the United States.

And we really could have sort of advanced our own interest if we had prosecuted this as a crime.
