About the END THE WAR FIRST strategy
The ETWF strategy promoted on this web site was initially developed by Dr. John S. Atlee -- a semi-retired professional economist (Ph.D Columbia 1956) and 1974 founder of the stable-full-employment-focused Washington think tank, the Institute for Economic Analysis. He has also been a lifelong inventor, problem-solver, opponent of the imperial aspects of American foreign policy and advocate of more effective international law and a stronger and more democratic United Nations. He was instigator of the 1968 Vietnam War historical documentary, "In the Year of the Pig" and author of a brief 1982 book on Cold War history.
The ETWF strategy had its developmental roots in several factors:
all of which strongly suggests the use of a simple fiscal prudence call for suspending further financing and construction (until its potential foreign-policy utility can be re-evaluated by the next President and Congress) as a vehicle for hearings on the true motives for the invasion and ongoing occupation, without falling into the "de-funding the troops" trap.
The rush on the part of the Administration to establish a long-term Status of Forces agreement (unprecedented in terms of involving U.S. forces in active military activity) and to institutionalize long-term radical destructive changes in the Iraqi economy has made it all the more important to end the war and, if necessary, to remove the architects of these policies as soon as possible, well before the coming elections.
