As the U.S. occupation of Iraq nears four years and President Bush promotes a so-called surge of troops to quell the Iraqi resistance and civil war, others want a surge toward peace that doesn’t involve more troops.
One of those others is Paul Pryse, a University of Wisconsin-Madison junior journalism major. Pryse, 20, is a member of the UW-Madison branch of the Campus Antiwar Network and is an elected member of CAN’s national coordinating committee.
He says he got involved in CAN “because I suspected from the beginning that this was a war based on lies, and I turned out to be right.”
