DESCRIPTION:Veterans Against the Iraq War\nOperation Dire Distress\n\n Veterans Against 
 the Iraq War is a coalition of American veterans who oppose war with 
 Iraq.\n\nWe detest the dictatorial policies of Saddam Hussein and 
 sympathize with the tragic plight of the Iraqi people.  But We oppose 
 pre-emptive U.S. military intervention on the grounds that it would: 
 \n\n Establish a dangerous precedent in the conduct of international 
 affairs, \n Easily lead to an increase of violent regional instability 
 and the spread of a much wider conflict, \n Place needless and 
 unacceptable financial burdens on the American people, \n Further divert 
 us from addressing critical domestic priorities, \n\nVeterans Against the 
 Iraq War does not believe the American military can or should be used as 
 the police force of the world by any administration--Republican or 
 Democrat.  We believe that the lives of our nation's soldiers, sailors, 
 airmen and marines should not be squandered for causes other than the 
 direct defense of our people and our nation.\n\nWe believe that a 
 pre-emptive US military attack on Iraq would be illegal, unnecessary, and 
 counterproductive and present a threat to international law and our 
 national security.  \n\nAs military veterans, we have a unique 
 understanding of war and know the many hidden truths that lie behind easy 
 theories and promises, as well as behind the tragic consequences that even 
 victory brings. We call on all like-minded American veterans to join and 
 support our efforts to halt this march towards national tragedy and 
 international calamity.\n \n\nVeterans' Demonstration and March  Saturday, 
 March 22\nAssemble 12 Noon, Veterans Building, 401 Van Ness, San 
 Francisco\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/02/03/17143.php
