At Village Books in Bellingham, Washington, Peter Laufer recounts the stories of soldiers who are opposed to the war in Iraq. During the discussion, he reads excerpts from his book, "Mission Rejected: U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq." He argues that there are many troops who are against the Iraq War and are serving out of fear. Many others, he says, have chosen to become war resisters and refuse to fight in Iraq.
