Stephen Rohde Interviewed at L.A. Progressive

Robert Link interviewed ICUJP chair Stephen F. Rohde over Labor Day weekend, and that interview has now been published in L.A. Progressive: Robert Link: If we stipulate that U.S. militarism is not a new problem and that the military-industrial complex is not likely to go away, what can ICUJP hope to accomplish in the next ten years? We are not a ‘Kumbaya’ organization that believes all war or state violence will simply disappear. In my work with Death Penalty Focus, we have a very real hope for abolishing the death penalty in the United States. ICUJP, in contrast, doesn’t have the luxury of pursuing a single issue which can realistically be brought to an end in the short term. Economic, political, sociological, and religious forces in the U.S. are addicted to war. Read the entire interview here.
