HOPE ≠ WARCall for March and Rally on Anniversary of Afghanistan War
Saturday, October 3, 2009 (tentative date)
When Pres. Obama was elected on a platform of HOPE, the American people expected a speedy end to the Iraq war. They expected negotiations to settle the Afghanistan and Israel/Palestine conflicts and reduce tensions with Iran.
They did not expect the new administration to delay exit from Iraq until 2012, or to escalate the war in Afghanistan by sending 21,000 more troops, as he has done. They did not expect an increase in drone strikes in Pakistan which have already killed 335 people, or the U.S. to strong-arm the Pakistani military into an operation which has left over two million internal refugees.
They did not expect military spending to continue to increase, with over $100 billion appropriated for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in June 2009.
The administration’s policy review has resulted in a plan for a protracted counter-insurgency war in which human development aid and negotiations serve only as window dressing on a war policy targeted at defeating the Taliban on the battlefield and dominating Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the central Asia region.

After twenty-two days of Israeli bombing, the isolation of Gaza remains deadly. The Palestinians there have been under blockade for two years; thousands are homeless; food is scarce. Building supplies are not allowed in and people are still living amidst rubble. People are not allowed in or out. Everything coming in is restricted. Medical supplies and equipment are not getting in. Palestinians are rarely allowed to leave to get medical care, nor are they able to import what they need.

According to NY Times, 2 million people became refugees inside Pakistan when the operation against the Taliban in Swat, Pakistan was launched aggressively about 3 months ago. They are living in tent camps, in over 100 degree temperatures, and lacking food, medicines, water. These numbers begin to approach the numbers of Afghan’s who fled the Soviet invasion to come to Pakistan as refugees.

The conflict in Afghanistan/Pakistan continues to worsen. The U.S. has sent more troops; there is increased fighting, violence, death and destruction; and a major new war may be coming. We must organize to stop this war, end militarism, and put the priority on funding social justice and improving the quality of life in our communities. This participatory workshop will present some basic information about the war in Afghanistan/Pakistan and cutting the military budget. We will discuss things we can do to help set things right.

The Committee in Solidarity with the Honduran Resistance (Comite en Solidaridad con la Resistencia Hondurena) was launched in Boston on August 1. The committee plans a fund-raiser for humanitarian aid, via the Bloque Popular, to people near the border where the Honduran President is now. The Boston committee will be working in solidarity with groups in Honduras such as the National Front of Resistance Against the Coup. The committee is also building two events, co-sponsored by a number of groups, including Centro Presente, on August 5 and 6.

Dear Friends,
During the months of August and September we will be showing the
Robert Greenwald documentary, "Rethink Afghanistan" at locations all
around the state. This documentary raises critical questions about
the consequences of U.S. policy and the recent troop escalation that
all Americans need to consider. Greenwald and his crew made several
visits to Afghanistan, most recently in March of 2009, and interviewed
many Afghan civilians as well as U.S. and Afghan political leaders and
foreign policy experts. If you are interested in hosting a showing in
your community please contact me at susi@nhpeaceaction.org or call our
