Stop these wars

This video from the USA says about itself:

Kathy Kelly, Peacestock 2013

Kathy Kelly is a tireless peace activist, pacifist, author and founder of Voices in the Wilderness but now a co-leader and co-founder of Voices for Creative Nonviolence. She lives in Chicago. IL when she is not speaking all over the world and residing in Afghanistan or Iraq helping promote peace and justice.

Kelly was in Baghdad when the 2003 Iraq War started and she experienced the “Shock and Awe” with her Iraqi friends. When Voices in the Wilderness became a target of relentless U.S. judicial action it was dissolved and that is when Kelly’s present organization was formed, Voices for Creative Nonviolence.

I don’t know – most Afghans would consider the war to have ended in 2001, when the Taliban were forced to become a insurgency group. Hopefully it will survive the peace once the Coalition leaves.

Extremely few Afghans would consider the war to have ended in 2001, as many people have died or become wounded, or have fled Afghanistan since then.

The occupation is the best recruiting agent for the Taliban, who had collapsed in 2001 (also for other armed resistance, which is not all Taliban).

  ALL war is horrific and has no real purpose. Fighting war for peace is like having sex to remain a virgin.

    Very correct, Jueseppi! “Humanitarian wars” exist only in the fairy tales of the spin doctors of the weapons industry, government bureaucracies, etc.
