Speaking before a full house at The Club's office, Al Sharpton criticizes the Bush administration's unilateral foreign policy and its WMD justification for war in Iraq. Sharpton argues that our involvement in the country has resulted in unmet needs here at home. Sharpton also bemoans his own party's drift to the right, with Democrats becoming, in effect, "elephants in donkey jackets." Overseeing the Q&A was Bruce Brugmann, editor and publisher of The San Francisco Bay Guardian.
