 Why
NOW!
Since March 2003, more than 4,200 US troops have lost their lives in
Iraq. Many thousands more have been wounded, and they will carry the
cost of this war with them for the rest of their lives. The men and women
of our armed services have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice because
they believe it is their duty to us and to our country.
Not only Americans are paying a terrible price for this illegal and
immoral war. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps more than a million, Iraqis have
died in the more than four years since the invasion. The present state of violence
and lawlessness in Iraq is the direct result of the U.S. occupation.
The continued presence of U.S. troops only makes the situation worse.
The vast majority of Iraqis want the U.S. to leave. It is time for us
to do so.
We, the American public, must now do our duty as citizens and oppose
this unjust war. Empty talk of “staying the course,” or waiting to see if the escalation works is a
betrayal of our responsibility to the troops, to our country and to the
people of Iraq.
