An overwhelming majority of Americans oppose the Iraq war, but, thus far, the peace movement has failed to force a withdrawal or even a change in direction.  A large majority also opposes rising inequality in the United States, but the trend has continued unabated for a generation.

Alexander Cockburn and JoAnn Wypijewski, two of the most distinguished political journalists in the United States, will explore these and related questions in their lecture and discussion.
