A Peace from Hell

Posted on August 22, 2003 in War

Progressives know that this war will not go away, that the troops will not wake up with happy dreams about warm welcomes of the Iraqi people. As an army of occupation they face more violence, more hatred than the soldiers who occupied Nazi Germany after the First World War. It is right to press for families to be heard, to state their view that their children, their spouses, their parents will not no longer be used as the private army of Halliburton, Bechtel, and the other American corporations that have profited so richly from this invasion. The peace from hell can only end with the withdrawl of U.S. forces and U.S. capital from Iraq. Let the United Nations keep the peace. Bring our troops home.
