Every. Single. Person.

After nearly four years of war I’d wager that a few million Americans have held a candle at a vigil, carried a sign at a rally, passed out a flyer, forwarded an email to friends, or gone to a demonstration in a distant city. If you, Dear Reader, are one of these stout souls who’ve protested, this letter is to you.

Reporting from the Veterans For Peace convention in Seattle last weekend, Dahr Jamail reprinted a speech by Lt. Ehren Watada, the first commissioned U.S. Army officer to publicly refuse orders to Iraq, who stated on June 22, “As the order to take part in an illegal act is ultimately unlawful as well, I must refuse that order.”

In his speech to the VFP members, Watada laid down the most critical challenge to the antiwar movement yet: will we show soldiers that if they quit fighting this insane, criminal war and go to jail that we will provide for their families as long as necessary?
