Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) [link] was founded by Iraq war veterans in July 2004 at the annual convention of Veterans for Peace (VFP) in Boston to give a voice to the large number of active duty service people and veterans who are against this war, but are under various pressures to remain silent.
From its inception, IVAW has called for:
- Immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces in Iraq; - Reparations for the human and structural damages Iraq has suffered, and stopping the corporate pillaging of Iraq so that their people can control their own lives and future and - Full benefits, adequate healthcare (including mental health), and other supports for returning servicemen and women.
The real problem of armed forces is that they do not understand that they hold the tanks, the planes the ships, the missiles etc...When they do so, they will end the war faster than any number of UN convention sanctions or whatever... Like Mao said - Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun.
and the saga will continues. is it not the saying that Bush fouled up in one speech goes to the tune of: "fool me once, then the fool is you. Fool me twice, then the fool is me."
US public fooled twice into believing a war for a just and noble cause.
time to wake up people. Politicians can be replaced, dead people can not.
Maybe not the war itself (tanks aren't free), but the territories fought for generate fair profit.

No, you got him wrong and yet right. Those tanks generate military contracts for bilions. Same with planes, missiles etc. The military industry is what generates the profit...for itself and a few others.
There are a lot of themes that run through the stock gallery many people have similar ideas but they pull them off in different ways. In this series of newsletters we will look at similar ideas but different outcomes.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
