War in the Middle East Today: Afghanistan, Iraq. . . &

Now Iran?



****************

Britannia Community Centre

1661 Napier St (@ Commercial Dr)

****************



In the last 6 years, US and other imperialists have

opened a terrifying era of war, occupation and

destruction, starting in the Middle East. Starting

with the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, this inhuman

war drive has killed uncounted tens of thousands of

Afghan people and now more than 700,000 Iraqis while

bringing US-style "democracy" and "freedom" ... Today,

we are faced with increasing threats of attack against

Iran.



What is the imperialist era of war and occupation?

What are the roots of this imperialist campaign and

war

drive against Iran? How does this fit into the overall

US and imperialist plan for war and plunder in the

Middle East and the world? What should we do as human

and peace-loving people and activists in Vancouver?



Three long-time Iranian activist and journalists,

participants in the Iranian revolution who are active

in the social justice and anti-war movements in

Canada, US and Europe will talk about their experience

in the

Middle East and related issues like war and occupation

by imperialist powers in the third world.
