The much talked about coalition between the libertarian, anti-war right, and the progressive, anti-war left, is finally beginning to form. At a recent protest in Washington, former presidential candidates Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, and Mike Gravel gave speeches, demanding that Obama withdraw American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, and end the military occupations of the two countries. The only person missing in action was Dr. Paul, whose presence will certainly ignite the growing anti-war movement in the nation.
The protest was organized by Laurie Dobson, director of End US Wars. So much thanks to her.

Chris Hedges, author of Empire of Illusion, also gave a speech.
