1. Peace groups declare National Call-In Day to oppose escalation of war in Afghanistan

Peace groups across the country, including Veterans for Peace and United for Peace & Justice, have called on citizens across the country to take the next three days, November 23rd through 25th, as call-in days to oppose the escalation of the war in Afghanistan. This call comes as President Obama faces critical decisions regarding the war effort, and against the backdrop of continued NATO casualties. 2009 has been the deadliest year for United States troops since the war began.

3. so they are continuing their War Without End.......what happened to change?

it seems it's 'stay the course' now. There should be requirements to pass a mental health test/a psyche evaluation, they should go through tests to show their character, I'm really disgusted by how MUCH it's same-'ol, same-'ol.

4. For OIL.

Big Oil. Friends of Big Oil. People who control the friends of Big Oil.

All the oil in the world isn't worth one single life.
And all the oil in the world won't bring a single life back,
or the millions of innocent people who had nothing to do with September 11 or ENRON.

So, we make war for Empire and its "roilty."

Why do We the People allow it?
