NO ATTACK ON
March marked the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war and people from all walks of life gathered in cities around the country in a national expression of the breadth and depth of antiwar sentiment in this nation. For many people, it was their first step in transforming their antiwar feelings into antiwar action. Regional actions enable larger numbers of people to participate.
People everywhere want the war to end, but Washington has failed to take decisive action. With each passing month, the Iraq disaster claims the lives of nearly 100 service people and countless Iraqis as it drains billions of our tax-dollars. Our communities are neglected and suffer the consequences.
