Five Years Too many

From Peace Action

In the past 5 years:
More than 1 million Iraqis and nearly 4,000 U.S. service people killed,
2 million Iraqis living as refugees in other countries,
Another 2.5 million displaced within Iraq
More than 1 trillion dollars has been spent

We must be as active, creative, visible and vocal as possible in order to keep Iraq and our demands prominent in the national discourse throughout the electoral season and beyond. The actions on the 19th are the first step in making this the LAST anniversary of this terrible occupation.

Now is the time!

March 19, 2008: the 5th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the beginning of the 6th year of war and occupation, the 6th year of senseless death and massive destruction.
