Editorial: March 20th

Are you:

1) A poser.

2) A sheep.

3) A fluffer.

4) A nutter.

5) A worshiper of the powerful

6) An apologist for war

If you're any of the above, we know we won't see you come March 20th.

A.N.S.W.E.R.



That's when A.N.S.W.E.R. and other organizations are sponsoring marches in DC, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The march is to demand the withdrawal of all US and NATO troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.

And this is for the people who care. This is for the people who want to end the wars. This isn't for the simplistic who write fan letters to George W. Bush or Barack Obama (or both). This isn't for the ones who go along with whatever their TV sets tell them to do.

This is for the people who want to say, "ENOUGH!"

Enough killing.

Enough spending.

Enough wasting.

Enough lie.

Enough war.

A war never ends because someone tells us "Trust me." A war never ends because you're told it will . . . in a year or so.

A war ends because the people demand that it ends, because they get loud enough and active enough that the government realizes it's no longer in the government's interest to continue the war.

March 20th, people will gather. The drones will stay at home.
