Saturday March 17th is the date for the Pentagon Protest and please at least go to this site and decide if you would like to add your voice about this long raging war or at least see what a true protest with celebrities and political leaders and well known speakers is all about

And then when you are done, toast the event with Green Beer so you wont forget it also is St Patrick's Day..and the Irish were some of the historical ancestors who had a lot to struggle thru and would appreciate the good intentions of those at the Pentagon to let the government know "enough is enough."
Hard to believe this war has lasted longer than World War II ....four years whew??? |
I would go read a history book before you start spouting this off at your protest rallies.
WWII had its roots in Asia in 1937 when the Soviets and Japan went to war in Manchuria....nearly two years before Germany invaded Poland and effectively started the war on the European front. Japan formally surrendered all military operations in early September 1945
July 1937 + September 1935 = 8 years, 2 months.
Thanks.
