RE: 5 years is too long (NPC)

["Gart, Mitchell" <Mitchell.Gart>]

Five years.  Sounds like a Bowie song.  Sorry, we shouldn't joke about it.  Do
you remember how when we first invaded, a few people said it will turn into a
long thing like Vietnam, and others said that was a ridiculous thing to say?
The comparison with Vietnam turned out to be right.

Five years - my brain hurts a lot

dear friends,

today marks the 5th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq.

i
have created a poetry protest video in sad commemoration. please take a
moment
to listen or watch and spread the word to others, so that as many of us as
possible can spend three minutes today pondering the length, the past, and
the
possible future of this war.

   you can listen and watch at

   or catch the video on youtube

i am trying to remember what it
feels like to live during a time of peace. it"s hard to do. it"s been too
long.
but i fiercely believe that together we can recreate peace on this
planet.
