400 WTC’s
After Two Years, Americans Need to Demonstrate Against an Insane and Destructive War
by Geov Parrish
Two years ago this week, the United States launched an unprovoked invasion of Iraq.
It is pointless, at this juncture, to rehash the reasons why the invasion was launched: except to note that democracy didn’t figure into it. For public consumption, of course, there were the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction and the nonexistent links between Saddam and Al-Qaeda and 9-11; privately, of course, there was oil, the chance to enrich friends through privatization, the geopolitics of the Middle East and the “we’re the boss” message intended for the world.
None of it can excuse what has happened in the last two years.
