Berkeley Finds a New Way to Make War Politics Local
Jesse McKinley, of The New York Times, reports: "while the City Council here has little - read, no - sway over foreign policy and distant wars, local parking is a different matter. And so it was that a parking space directly in front of the recruiting station here for the Marine Corps was awarded on Tuesday night to an antiwar group in the hope of running the Marines out of town. Having failed in recent years to impeach President Bush and stop the war in Afghanistan, members of the City Council approved a resolution that encourages people to nonviolently 'impede, passively or actively,' the work of the recruiters."
