Leaders of
the G8 (“Group of 8”) nations, generally the wealthiest in the world, will hold
a summit in May 2012 in Chicago, along with the heads of the NATO military
alliance. The meetings represent the single biggest confab of war-making
leaders in many years, and if past meetings are any indication, a focus for
10’s of thousands of protesters.
Long-time
anti-war activists and GLN members Bob Schwartz and Andy Thayer discuss why
people should actively oppose the forthcoming G8 and NATO summits in Chicago.
