FOES OF A WAR IN IRAQ SPREAD THEIR MESSAGE
January 16, 2003

By Robert Schlesinger, Globe Staff

'The Win Without War group, announced last month as a group of
"patriotic Americans who share the belief that Saddam Hussein
cannot be allowed to possess weapons of mass destruction" but
which also opposes a military solution, was the result. The
coalition includes groups ranging from the National Organization
of Women to the National Council of Churches.

"It's an attempt to recognize that it's not just the liberal
left or the theological left or the political left that is
organizing," said Dr. Bob Edgar, a former House Democrat from
Pennsylvania who is now the general secretary for the National
Council on Churches. "It's just average, ordinary, common people
who don't normally get excited about issues of war and peace,
but on this issue they believe that the administration has not
made its case."'
