On January 27, 2007, 500,000 marched against war and occupation in Washington, DC. After the march, Anthony Arnove, author of Iraq: the Logic of Withdrawal, spoke at the Bus Boys and Poets cafe, with Kelly Dougherty, co-founder of Iraq Veterans Against War. Arnove spelled out the disastrous consequences of this war, for the Iraqi people and the US, and made the case for immediate withdrawal of occupation forces, with reparations.
