Iraq has already seen what 11 years of a U.S.-led war and occupation means - the horrific 2003 bombing invasion of Baghdad, at least 1.8 million Iraqi people killed, the destruction of infrastructure, infamous night raids and detainee torture. It is a wonder that the U.S. government can go to war in Iraq again with the excuse of helping Iraq, especially when the force they are claiming to be fighting, ISIS, is the same group they have been funding and arming in Syria over the past three years. Canada has also joined the war on Iraq with at least 69 special operations troops, two aircraft carriers and at least $15 million in “security assistance”. Now, the new war on Iraq, with U.S. and France launching hundreds of airstrikes, has also expanded to Syria, which has been the target of U.S. bombing.
Join this forum to discuss what is at stake in Iraq and Syria and how the antiwar movement should respond.
