Diverse Voices To Denounce Iraq Troop Plan [Hanoi Jane's war protest] [FR DC Chapter opposes]
Washington Post ^ | January 27, 2007 | By Michael E. Ruane

Tens of thousands of demonstrators from across the country are expected to converge in Washington today to urge the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq as President Bush is proposing to send more troops in an effort to stabilize the country.

They plan to rally on the Mall, march around the north side of the Capitol and send a strong message to the government.

The event, which authorities said could draw 100,000 people, starts with a rally at 11 a.m. Among those expected to address the crowd are Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon and Jesse Jackson.

The march, organized by the group United for Peace and Justice, is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

~~snip~~

Fifty to 100 members of the Washington chapter of the conservative organization FreeRepublic.com plan to rally near the U.S. Navy Memorial to oppose the march and the participation of Jane Fonda, the chapter said. The actress has long been the object of conservative ire for her support of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

"These groups are the ones that are acting as the political arm of the terrorists overseas to help bring about America's defeat in the war on terror," said Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com.

A second career diplomat has resigned from the State Department in protest of the Bush administration's policy on Iraq.


John Brown, a veteran of more than two decades in the Foreign Service, informed Secretary of State Colin Powell in a letter Monday that he was leaving the department immediately "because I cannot in good conscience support President Bush's war plans against Iraq." He joins a fellow Foreign Service officer, John Brady Kiesling, who also resigned this month in protest of the administration's policy.


In an interview Wednesday with Government Executive, Brown said the Bush administration is pursuing a narrow-minded strategy in Iraq, jeopardizing relationships with long-time allies around the world.


"The failure to imagine what other people might think" of U.S. policy, Brown said, "is absolutely parochial in its assumptions." Brown said the administration has taken the stance that "if [other nations] don't think like us, there's something wrong with them, or they're evil."
