The Iraq War devastated Iraqis:
-4.5 million Iraqis displaced
-5 million orphans
-1 million killed
Nearly one in every two people in Iraq experienced life-altering (or ending) impacts
15,000 American soldiers or contractors:
Dead
And for what?
In Iraq, we removed a relatively stable government to put in what is to this day one of the world’s most corrupt governments
In Libya, we destabilized a successful African nation
In Afghanistan, our army replaced the Soviet army to begin another decades long fight against “insurgents”
…insurgents that were brothers and friends of the people in the Afghan cities we invaded
We murdered families, killed kids, incinerated people at their own weddings
A child watching their parent vaporized in to a red mist
If the child was lucky we got them too. If they weren’t lucky they lived the remainder of their life a mangled, decrepit mass
We shot innocent people
We r*ped men in the prison camps
AND FOR F*CKING WHAT?
For non-existent WMDS??
To bring “democracy” to those nations when we’re allied with dictators around the world?
For oil when we have some of the most plentiful oil reserves in the world???
FOR
F*CKING
WHAT?
US taxpayers paid ~$2.4 trillion for these wars
FOR
F*CKING
WHAT???
For Israel, that’s what…
Americans bled and died so Israel could strengthen its positions in the Middle East
It wasn’t for the US
It wasn’t to keep us safe
It was all for Israel
On the eve of a new war-for-Israel we need to remember what we lost in the previous Middle East wars
We lost soldiers
We lost the respect of other nations
We lost our own national dignity
We became the evil we pretend to fight
…and we’ll lose much more in this war
Protest this war with every fiber of your being
F*ck these warmongers that sacrifice millions of lives for Israel
F*ck these people that put the interests of our nation last
F*ck these American neocons that send Americans to early graves so Israel can consolidate power
Fight this coming war with every fiber of your f*cking being
Because if you don’t fight against this war now
…you’ll be forced to die in it later
