DESCRIPTION: \nA Wedding Party – and Die-In\nTo Say NO to Obama’s War On 
 Afghanistan\n\nTomorrow in San Francisco’s world-famous Union Square, war 
 resisters will give tourists, shoppers, and locals a demonstration of daily 
 life in Afghanistan, where US bombing strategies indiscriminately target 
 large groups of civilians – such as wedding parties.  “In their part of 
 the world,” commented World Can’t Wait spokesperson Giovanni Jackson, 
 “the words ’til death do us part…’ take on new meaning.”\n\nAs 
 the Blue Angels begin their Saturday “performance” World Can’t Wait, 
 Code Pink, Progressive Democrats of America, and other war resisters will 
 reenact a scene all too common in Afghanistan: those indiscriminate and 
 deadly attacks on civilians from the air.  \n\nThe public is invited to 
 join in this WEDDING PARTY/DIE-IN in Union Square starting at 3:00.  The 
 Blue Angels are scheduled to “perform” starting at that time.\n\nThis 
 week marked the eighth anniversary of the U.S. war against Afghanistan, and 
 the announcement that Barack Obama, commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed 
 forces now engaged in numerous wars of aggression and occupations, has been 
 given the Nobel Peace Prize.  Visible, large-scale antiwar protest actions 
 have been taking place around the country, notably by 500 marchers (with 61 
 arrests) at the White House and by a large demonstration inside New 
 York’s Grand Central Station.\n\nStephanie Tang of World Can’t Wait 
 said today: “At the very moment Obama is expanding the war against 
 Afghanistan, the Blue Angels are roaring over San Francisco in a show of 
 American military might – reminding us of the death and destruction 
 already raining down on the people of Afghanistan in this immoral, 
 illegitimate war.  This is a time for resistance.”\n
