The Beginning Continues

I believe history will show the beginning of the end of the U.S. invasion of Iraq has already occurred. Whether we may mark it as late in 2005 when rumors of Pentagon "exit strategies" began to circulate, or earlier, at the time of the revelations of the torture at the Abu Ghraib prison -- it is now clear the pressure is mounting for a clearly-defined plan to end U.S. military involvement in Iraq. At the very least, the American public is demanding clearly-defined goals, the reaching of which would signal a withdrawal of forces.

Now, a church in Washington (state) has declared itself a sanctuary for U.S. military personnel who wish to resist being sent to Iraq. I applaud the church for its brave stand. May many others follow. You will find more information at this link: < http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/061606B.shtml >.
