LET US SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN BY SAYING NO TO OBAMA'S SURGE!
COME TO THE CORNER OF GREEN ST. AND CAYUGA ST. (IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY) DECEMBER 1 4-5:15 This Tuesday, December 1st, President Obama is expected to announce sending additional tens of thousands of troops to Afghanistan to "finish the job." But, as Malalai Joya, a member of the Afghan Parliament put it in an interview on Democracy Now!: "WAR IS WAR AND IMPOSSIBLE TO BRING DEMOCRACY, WOMEN RIGHTS, HUMAN RIGHTS BY WAR" Malalai Joya is the youngest member to be elected to the Afghan Parliament, and was suspended in 2007 "for her denunciation of warlords and their cronies in government." A clear voice speaking for the Afghani people, Malalai states her position on Obama's policy: "He wants to surge more troops in Afghanistan, which will bring more conflict, more war." Please visit the Democracy Now! website to view the compete interview with Malalai Joya: http://www.democracynow.org/2009/10/28/a_woman_among_warlords_afghan_democracy “[…]day by day, we say [U.S. occupation of Afghanistan] is the mockery of democracy and mockery of war on terror.” If you take care of this moment, you will take care of all time. _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins Questions about the list? ask [email protected] free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
