Naseer Shamma – بنفسج ارواحهم "The Violet Souls"

As we acknowledge the fifth anniversary of the most recent occupation of Iraq, I keep glancing at my US Out Of Iraq banner and see it’s edges yellowing with age.

I know it was over 16 years ago when I was arrested for peacefully, very peacefully, demonstrating against our initial invasion. Did we ever leave?

Welcome, America, to the seventeenth year of killing in Iraq. Check out MoveOn’s New Priorities Vigil page if you would like to organize or join a vigil in your area this weekend.

What’s on your mind tonight?
