The national antiwar group United for Peace and Justice has released an easy to reproduce one page voters guide on the positions of major party candidates on policies towards Iraq and Iran. While it does not offer a detailed analysis of the candidates’ positions, it does make for a useful outreach piece for antiwar groups.
The guide:
Unfortunately, like much of the left in the United States, the guide is focused on only the major party candidates running for president. As such, it excludes Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney and independent candidate Ralph Nader, both of whom oppose the Iraq War and have plans for the complete withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. While it correctly identifies that none of the major party candidates will shift US policy away from militarism, it fails to offer an alternative to voters.
