REV. GRAYLAN S. HAGLER
Pastor at the Plymouth Congregational Church UCC, in Washington, D.C., Hagler said today: “This administration has moved to one war issue after another, hiding its failures on the domestic front. The administration has a hard time articulating so it lacks any moral clarity. Anyone looking for rational articulation is left at a loss since the administration cannot necessarily admit the real reasons for wanting war.”
GORDON CLARK
National coordinator of the Iraq Pledge of Resistance, Clark is a former executive director of Peace Action. He noted that calls from the public to Congress are overwhelmingly against the bombing of Iraq. Clark said today: “Although he claims it to be part of his war on terror, Bush’s unquenchable desire for war against Iraq will result in the deaths of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians — probably many times the number of people killed in the horror of September 11.”
