Iraq/Iran

New US WILPF Statement on the War in Iraq and Iran

TO ALL CONGRESS PEOPLE

 

re: WAR in IRAQ and IRAN

 

We condemn and oppose the United States war and occupation of Iraq, which has caused the death of over 4,000 U.S. military personnel and over 1 million Iraqis. Untold numbers of combat troops have been physically and psychologically damaged.  In addition there are over 5 million Iraqi refugees, which place a strain on the economies of the receiving countries.  An estimated 1 million war widows work to eke out a living for their families.
