WAR IS OVER! (If You Want It?)
Today is Wednesday, March 19, the exact fifth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. During these five years over 1.3 million Iraqis have died as a result of the war, 2 million people displaced inside of Iraq, and 2.5 million who are refugees in neighboring Syria and Jordan. Five years have resulted in 4,000 deaths of U.S. soldiers and more than 60,000 wounded. The FIVE YEAR occupation of Iraq has already cost over $500 billion. This weekend and many returning Iraq veterans testified against the war and revealed it’s injustices at The Winter Soldier-Iraq and Afghanistan hearings. For five years people have protested in SF and around the country and the war goes on and on and on. Today people in San Francisco and across the country continue to protest this war and there is still no end in sight.
