Chicago biggest city yet to call for bringing troops home
(Fran Spielman, Chicago Sun Times, Septebmer 15, 2005)
After a wrenching debate that reopened 37-year-old wounds, Chicago on Wednesday became the nation's largest city to demand an "orderly and rapid withdrawal" of U.S. troops from Iraq. . . . Ald. Toni Preckwinkle (4th) said she protested the Vietnam War and was in the crowd in 1986 when Chicago held a cathartic and long-overdue parade for soldiers. "I made it a point to come out and applaud. One of the chants was, 'Honor the warriors, not the war.' That's truly where I am today," Preckwinkle said. . . . Ald. Bernard Stone (50th) said he supported the war in Iraq to get rid of a "dreadful enemy" in a "strategic position in the world" who needed to be removed from power, whether or not he had weapons of mass destruction, before he "created World War III." . . . But Stone said, "I changed my mind when I saw 25 [soldiers] from the suburbs of Cleveland being brought back in a box, all from the same town on one day. I said, 'This cannot go on. Why should this slaughter continue? What purpose does it serve?' "
