Have we learned our lesson?

A letter from a concerned citizen who does not want to spend more money on unjustified colonialism.  I hope most Americans can now see the downside of watching the "Shock and Awe" of these costly ventures. It doesn't matter what political party you support this will impact you and future generations to come.  Are you willing to participate in your governance or will you let the leadership drag us into what could be the end of our existence, especially if Russia and China get involved.  

We still have the ability to say "NO" don't we?


"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." - Martin Luther King, Jr. King is right: Any comfort of ignorance will soon evaporate.


====================================================
The neocon war criminals who took the U.S. into an illegal and disastrous war in Iraq are back - and demanding a Syria War.

We say No!

Attacking Syria won't reduce the violence - it will only escalate it with devastating consequences for Syrians and Americans, as we learned so painfully in Iraq.

The U.S. invasion of Iraq killed 100,000 to 600,000 Iraqi civilians. For Americans, the invasion killed 4,486 U.S. troops and wounded 32,223. Of the 2.3 million U.S. troops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, roughly 20% suffer from PTSD or Traumatic Brain Injury, and hundreds commit suicide each year. For returning troops and their loved ones, the war is never over.

Tell Congress: No Syria War!
Economically, the U.S. absolutely cannot afford war with Syria. The Iraq War cost the U.S. economy $3 trillion and helped cause the Great Recession of 2008, which has not ended.
Since Republicans refuse to raise taxes, the inevitable costs of a Syrian War will come from food stamps, education, health care, environmental protection, and Social Security. The American people adamantly oppose cuts in these essential programs.
Tell Congress: No Syria War!

Tell your Senators and Representative to vote against a Syria War, and block any funds for any military actions that could start such a war.

Thanks for all you do!
