(Some of) Our Mayors Rock!Today at the US Conference of Mayors, meeting in Los Angeles, a resolution was passed, calling for the U.S. "administration to begin planning immediately for the swift and prudent redeployment" U.S. forces, as well as "the accelerated training of Iraq's armed forces to be able to maintain stability and civil order." Full text of the statement can be found at the end of this article: US Conference of Mayors Takes a Stand: US Out of Iraq!The mayors of many of our cities seem to have the guts that are lacking in Congres and the Administration, as evidenced by what a good number of them are doing in their cities to take the steps towards reducing global pollution and climate change that the Feds shy away from. The US Mayors Climate Protection Program is our best start towards solving this problem. Maybe the local guys will also move us along the path to exiting this war!
