Ten years later the U.S. is still at war and UFPJ is still needed!
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
Ten years ago the peace and anti-war movements warned the leaders of the
global community that war was not the answer, and that war once unleashed
would bring only destruction and death. United for Peace and Justice finds no
pleasure in being right about this U.S. made catastrophe of human suffering.
There is no joy or self-satisfaction that can be felt. This is not an “I
told you so” moment. But we will use both the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars as
examples of how violence begets violence and how war, if it ever was, is
no longer a moral means to solve conflicts.
United for Peace and Justice needs your support to continue to keep the
message that war is not the answer in front of the nation. _Click here to

The people of Iraq have suffered for decades: first under Saddam Hussein;
then the 1991 U.S.-led invasion, followed by U.S.-led sanctions; and
finally another U.S.-led invasion and occupation. The Iraq War must not be
swept
aside to be forgotten like a national nightmare, and we must not let the
nightmare of the war be repackaged in patriotic rhetoric to support future
wars. Our nation has an obligation to the people of Iraq, and to the U.S.
service members sent to fight, bleed and die there. There is still much work
ahead to help the people of Iraq and the U.S. troops and communities to
which they have returned to heal.
Join a phone conference call about Iraq ten years later with Antonia
Juhasz and Ali Issa on March 26th at 8:30 pm ET._ Follow this link for call

Help UFPJ continue to resist war through efforts like the Iran Pledge of
Resistance and the Jobs Not Wars campaign
.
Thank you for your years of resistance to U.S. wars and militarism. Your
efforts and support have helped to force change. In his State of the Union
address, President Obama claimed that a decade of war is coming to an end.
If only that were true. The Administration’s plans for Afghanistan are
unclear, killer drones fly across Asia and Africa with no end in sight, and
threats to attack Iran are a common occurrence. Ten years on, United for Peace
and Justice will continue to call for an end to U.S. wars. We will continue
to demand a change in our nation’s priorities from war making to
peacemaking. We ask you to continue to support our work for peace and justice.
