Last week there were demonstrations and rallies against another war in at least 48 U.S. cities.
On
Monday, September 9, as Congress goes back into session, join Syrian
American Forum and many others in front of the White House, then
marching to the U.S. Congress.

President Obama has called for a vote in Congress to authorize an attack on Syria. Congress is scheduled to return on Monday, Sept 9.
President
Obama is using the same tactics as President Bush did before the Iraq
War. When the UN Security Council would not support the U.S. war, Bush
turned to the U.S. Congress for a war vote giving him “all necessary
means”. Ten years later Iraq lay in ruins. A million Iraqis died,
millions became refugees. More than 1.5 million US soldiers were
deployed to Iraq. Today thousands of U.S. and NATO soldiers are
disabled, traumatized and 1/3 will suffer from PTSD.
Just as in Iraq, Afghanistan and earlier in Vietnam this is again a U.S. war based on lies. Bombing
Syria is NOT a 'humanitarian intervention’. It is another war for Wall
Street Profit! This time there is a risk of global confrontation or even
world war.
This war will
only serve the billionaires and militarists who profit from war and
conquest. The workers and poor will pay, in Syria and here in the U.S.
Raytheon stocks
and profits are soaring. Our cities are crumbling! We need funds for job
programs, healthcare and education, NOT billions wasted on war and
destruction. The cost of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan exceeds $4
trillion dollars.
The reaction of the overwhelming majority of people is, "We don't want this war!" But we have to join together to mobilize this majority and show the world we are ready to fight to stop this war.
Let's join together with one powerful message: Hands Off Syria! Not Another War!
