The so-called War on Terror launched by the United States government in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks has cost at least 801,000 lives and $6.4 trillion according to a pair of reports published Wednesday by the Costs of War Project at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs.

“The numbers continue to accelerate, not only because many wars continue to be waged, but also because wars don’t end when soldiers come home,” said Costs of War co-director and Brown professor Catherine Lutz, who co-authored the project’s report on deaths.

“These reports provide a reminder that even if fewer soldiers are dying and the U.S. is spending a little less on the immediate costs of war today, the financial impact is still as bad as, or worse than, it was 10 years ago,” Lutz added. “We will still be paying the bill for these wars on terror into the 22nd century….”

No War With Iran!

315 N Main Street, Oshkosh, 11 A.M. – 12 NOON (Opera House Square – Main Street)

Join us at 11 am by the sundial in Oshkosh to protest the sensless US aggression against Iran and rally for peace.

President Trump has once again shown his contempt democracy by directly ordering US forces to attack the sovereign country of Iran without the consent of the American people.

Provoking a war with Iran is a foolish decision that will waste countless lives and cause untold suffering. And yet our leaders appear hellbent on dominating the Middle East no matter the cost of human lives.

For the love of democracy and out of respect for human life let us stand firmly against this war, and loudly denounce the violent actions of our leaders.

Say no to Donald Trump! Say no to US Imperialism! NO WAR WITH IRAN!

We must act swiftly to say:

“No war on Iran. US out of Iraq and the Middle East.”

Organizers are hoping that Madisonians come out in force for a rally titled “US Out of Iraq! No War with Iran!” that will take place Saturday, Jan. 4, noon-2 p.m. at the Wisconsin State Capitol. The rally is being organized to protest the United States’ escalation toward war with Iran with the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, the top military leader of that country.

The Madison branch of the Party for Socialism and Liberation is hosting the rally that will be co-sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America – Madison, Socialist Rifle Association of Madison, Wisconsin Bail Out The People Movement and Neighborhood Organizing Institute.

“If Iran openly assassinated a top U.S. general and bragged about it, there is no question that the United States would initiate full-scale war,” the group said on its Facebook page. “Trump and the Pentagon have acted illegally, in violation of the Constitution, the War Powers Act and international law.

“The targeted assassination and murder of a central leader of Iran is designed to initiate a new war. Unless the people of the United States rise up and stop it, this war will engulf the whole region and could quickly turn into a global conflict of unpredictable scope and potentially the gravest consequences,” they added.
