Six Years of Illegal War: Demand Accountability
Six Years of Illegal War: Demand Accountability

We are fast approaching the end of the sixth year since the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and seven and a half in Afghanistan. There has been no accountability for the criminals who launched these wars of aggression. The current congress and president are continuing both and escalating one.

But awareness and public pressure continue to grow, as does the possibility of criminal prosecution for some of the war crimes. Over 150 groups are asking the attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor for Bush and Cheney. You can add your name or your organization, and find a dozen other easy steps to take here:

Resistance to unconstitutional presidential power is growing even among fans of the current president. Read "One Step Forward, Two Steps Toward Monarchy" at

United for Peace and Justice has produced a flyer to print, copy, and distribute at events around the time of the sixth anniversary of the Iraq invasion. Please make yourself a hundred of these and hand them out:

4. If we had a working judicial system that wasn't gummed up
with bushmites, we could seek justice. But it looks like all available man/woman power is on what the banksters are demanding.
