Peace activists have organized four days of anti-war events
across the United States to protest Washington’s military intervention
in other countries.
The organizers have planned rallies, cultural
programs and teach-ins to draw attention to US military interventions
across the globe.
The events, which are dubbed as Spring Rising,
are being held to mark the 12th anniversary of US invasion of Iraq.
They will be staged from March 18 to March 21 in Washington, DC and
several other cities of the country. Cindy Sheehan
(pictured below at an anti-war rally), whose son, US Army Specialist
Casey Sheehan, was killed in the Iraq War, said, “Spring Rising is
intended as an antiwar intervention into the world capital of
war-making.”
“The
US has spread its military across the globe and is engaged in wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq and, via drone strikes, in Pakistan, Yemen and
Somalia. The US government is provoking Russia in Ukraine and Eastern
Europe, pushing for another coup in Venezuela and expanding its military
presence in Asia and Africa,” she added.
“The current problem is
NOT that the US finally withdrew military forces from Iraq in 2012, but
its illegitimate invasions in 1991 and 2003,” said Debra Sweet, director
of World Can't Wait.
“The US occupation was conducted in a
lawless way, destroying their education, legal, medical, water, sewage,
security and electrical systems, setting the stage for the rise of ISIS
[ISIL],” she said.
The US and its allies invaded Iraq in March
2003 under the pretext that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
possessed weapons of mass destruction.
In October 2004, however, a
CIA report revealed that Saddam did not possess any weapons of mass
destruction at the time of the invasion.
The activists say the US
occupation of Iraq was conducted in a lawless way, and set the stage for
the rise of the ISIL terrorist group.
They
say the US military cannot stop the ISIL violence, and nothing good can
come from US-led coalition airstrikes against the Takfiri terrorists.
Since
late September, the US and some of its Arab allies have been carrying
out airstrikes against ISIL inside Syria without any authorization from
Damascus or a UN mandate.
US warplanes have been conducting
airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq since early August. Some Western states
have also participated in some of the strikes in Iraq.
The US-led coalition has done little to stop the ISIL's advances in parts of Syria and in western Iraq.
Some
analysts have criticized the aerial military campaign in Syria, saying
the strikes are meant to destroy the Arab country's infrastructure.
Alan
Sabrosky, a US Marine Corps veteran, has said that the United States’
airstrikes in Syria often target militants with “no military value” and
actually aim at the country’s infrastructure.

protests, show the world it is not the citizens who are evil, but the
wretched government of gangsters.

The
US Neocons did not get their war on Syria after the chemical weapons
false flag operation,thanks to Russia's diplomatic work.
However,they did not go away, they never sleep. They will continue to do
anything to destabilize the ME for Israel's sake, their evil knows no
bounds.The US has recently admitted the illegal Iraq invasion gave rise
to ISIL.
The good news is that "the cat is out of the bag", the
world sees zionists for what they are and that they control the US.The
US flag is now synonymous with the Israeli flag. Israel will destroy the
US by bankrupting them with war costs. Collectively americans have
supported Israel's evil, and collectively they will suffer the
consequences.
A better world is ahead, too bad so many people have to suffer in the meantime.
