War in Iraq is a humanitarian dissaster, protest tomorrow
http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/03/18/7737/

Highlights:

"A recent World Health Organisation and Iraqi health ministry report estimated that 151,000 people were killed between the start of the invasion on March 20, 2003 and June 2006."

" “Five years after the US-led invasion that toppled (former president) Saddam Hussein, Iraq is one of the most dangerous countries in the world,” the 24-page report said."

What's not in the article is the estimated 2 million Iraqis that have left the country to live in refugee camps and towns in the region. And if the people don't care about Iraqis, how about the trillions of dollars lost and the almost 4000 United States soldiers?

Iraq is not better off, and we need to let people know now. Go to http://www.moveon.org/ for detail about protests near you.
