when I think about how we were correct when we said the invasion was based on lies and how much of what we said would go wrong has. I take no satisfaction whatsoever in being vindicated.
FYI, demonstrations are being planned for the first year anniversary of the invasion.
On March 20, 2004, protests will take place all around the world on the one year anniversary of the U.S. bombing and invasion of Iraq. People are organizing on a global scale to demand an end to the occupation of Iraq and an immediate withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the country.
Since the invasion began, hundreds of U.S. and British soldiers and unknown thousands of Iraqi people have been killed. The Iraqi people have clearly stated that occupation is not liberation - that they want the foreign soldiers occupying their country to leave not tomorrow, but today. Growing numbers of U.S. soldiers and their families are calling to bring the troops home now. Increasing numbers of people in the United States are helping to build a movement against the occupation as they fight cuts to education, healthcare, job programs, housing and other social service programs.
Events already have been planned for NYC, D.C., Boston, LA, San Francisco and Chicago.
http://www.internationalanswer.org/campaigns/m20/index.htmlWhy not organize something in your community? There's still plenty of time. It would be awesome if the level of activity surpassed the demonstrations worldwide that took place prior to the war on Feb. 15.
I'll be marching in Chicago, and I hope others will join me across the nation.
