October marks the start of the ninth year of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. The struggle to stop the war grows more important each day. The war and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq are both colonial-type wars. Bush used the “War on Terror” as a pretext for the escalation of imperialist intervention. Bush is gone but the brutal occupations continue.
Topics for discussion include:
Why Afghanistan is NOT the “good war”
Afghanistan’s true history of resistance
What’s our role? Why all students and workers should demand “U.S. out now!”
Why Wall St. needs war to survive
Pakistan in the crosshairs
First-hand testminony from veterans and military famlies
