Alternative Visions – US Grass Roots Anti-War Protests and the Syrian War – 09/11/13

Dr. Jack Rasmus welcomes long time guest organizer, Jeff Mackler, to discuss current grass roots efforts to organize protests against a war with Syria. Jack and guest discuss the potential economic 'costs' of military action in Syria and past US wars, current efforts of the UNAC (United National Anti-War Coalition), the recent Obama-Putin 'Plan B' proposals, the 'Saudi Arabia' connection in the Syrian conflict and US drive to war, and current efforts to restore the US sequester defense cuts of $500 billion in Congress."

Jeff Mackler is long time anti-war activist and movement leader for the last forty years. He is currently on the national board of the UNAC (United National Anti-War Movement), and is national secretary of the Socialist Action group.
