DESCRIPTION:Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal - April 30     Reception with Anthony Arnove  
 Reception and Book-signing  Sunday, April 30, 2006 - 2pm  MECA Office  901 
 Parker Street in Berkeley  Howard Zinn's book Vietnam: The Logic of 
 Withdrawal, though it appeared five years before the United States 
 eventually abandoned that war, argued with remarkable foresight that 
 getting out was the only realistic option. Now, nearly forty years later, 
 the United States is once again involved in a seemingly intractable foreign 
 conflict. And, following in the footsteps of Zinn, Anthony Arnove (his 
 co-editor on the widely acclaimed Voices of a People's History of the 
 United States) has written a book that will likely prove equally prescient. 
  Arnove sets out a compelling case for the immediate withdrawal of troops 
 from Iraq. Countering widespread arguments made in support of the 
 occupation by conservatives and liberals alike, Arnove insists that the 
 U.S. presence is the major source of instability and suffering for the 
 Iraqi people. He challenges the idea that George W. Bush has ever been 
 interested in bringing democracy to the country and explores the real 
 reasons behind the invasion, which centrally involve control over strategic 
 Middle Eastern energy resources. And he sets out a constructive vision for 
 the antiwar movement, one that involves soldiers, military families, and 
 the many communities affected by the occupation, who together can build a 
 coalition to bring the troops home.  \n
