Protest the 5th Anniversary of the invasion & occupation of Iraq. For information, contact Peace Action Denton, peaceactiondenton@gmail.com.

Iraq lies in ruins and casualties of war continue to mount. More than a million Iraqis are dead and U.S deaths are approaching 4,000. 4 million Iraqis have been rendered homeless or have left the country for safety in neighboring countries like Jordan and Syria. The cost of the war to U.S taxpayers may surpass $3 trillion according to Nobel laureate economist James Stiglitz.

Just a few months ago it was widely believed that the Iraq war would be the central issue in the 2008 election. It is shocking how swiftly the defining issue of our times has been set aside by our leaders in Washington and an obsequious media. The 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, March 19, presents an opportunity to put the Iraq war back on the table for discussion and debate.

Stand for Peace on the 5th anniversary of the war in Iraq. For information, contact Peace-Center@tx.rr.com.
