Abstract

Who Can Stop the War?
COCKBURN, ALEXANDER | February 19, 2007 issue

add to cart   close window

The article considers who can stop the Iraq War. The troop resistance and mass protests of the Vietnam era seem unlikely, as the military is now composed of volunteers and protest has been stifled by years of apathy. Congress, under the leadership of defense appropriations subcommittee chair Jack Murtha and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, could cut off funding for the war and put a ceiling on troop levels.
