According to Iraqi-American Sami Rasouli, "...day after day for the last three years and a half or so, by storming houses; detaining innocent people; killing innocent peopleâAe”women, children; bombing them from the air or from the land; peppering the Iraq cities, provinces; dominating people by checkpoint...We are not stupid here...Iraqis are asking the U.S. to leave...American media talk about this with limitation, but what we see here are corpses and dead bodies..." Rasouli says if U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq, "The 1,300 al Qaeda members that the Iraq Study Group mentioned would leave... They are here to target American forces." Short gathering in a circle east of the bridge after the vigil to hear about more peace and justice events and issues. Let us Minnesotans show our representatives in Washington that we want an end to the war and occupation of Iraq not later, after even more death and destruction, but NOW! FFI: Call WAMM 612-827-5364.
Location: Lake Street/Marshall Avenue Bridge, spanning the Mississippi River between Minneapolis and St. Paul. Come to Marshall Avenue (St. Paul) side of the bridge so that we can greet you.
