(We are IVAW)Pointing imaginary guns and roughing up "Iraqi civilians", a group of antiwar veterans brought the realities of the Iraq debacle to Manhattan, in a Memorial Day protest that briefly   more...turned the streets of the city into a combat zone. In "Operation First Casualty," a half-dozen members of Iraq Veterans Against the War employed the tactics of street theater to stage mini-dramas in Times Square, Union Square and the World Trade Center site, simulating sniper fire and staging mock arrests of fellow protesters who portrayed Iraqis. The group plans to take Operation First Casualty to the streets of Chicago June 17. If there ever was a group whose voices deserve to be heard more in this country it's the IVAW.  less

President Bush perpetuates his   more...reign of terror and continues this illegal war in Iraq as he shreds the Constitution and the Bill of Rights here at home. I don’t blame the Troops for what Bush has ordered them to do. They have to follow orders and have no choice in where or when they serve. After all that our Troops have suffered through and sacrificed, we need to make sure that they receive the benefits they deserve. We need to reinstate the G.I. Bill so that our returning Vets can go to school and buy a decent home. There are too many Veterans who are returning to the United States and finding themselves homeless.  less
