DESCRIPTION:Teach-In on the 9th Anniversary of the U.S. Invasion of Iraq\n\n• The 
 myth of a  U.S. “Victory ” & the real costs of the Iraq war\n• 
 Washington’s drive for “regime change” in Syria, Iran and 
 Lebanon\n• Afghanistan-30 years of war, Palestine-64 years of 
 occupation\n• Is Obama’s foreign policy different than 
 Bush’s?\n\nMarch 2012 marks the 9th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of 
 Iraq. After a devastating war, most U.S. troops are out of Iraq but 
 Washington’s long-term quest for domination of the oil-rich and strategic 
 Middle East and Central Asia continues.  Following the overthrow of the 
 government in Libya, U.S. leaders are stepping up their campaigns for 
 regime change in Syria and Iran, and at the same time trying to limit the 
 advances of the people in Egypt and Tunisia. While it claims to champion 
 “democracy,” the U.S. allies are the most reactionary monarchies from 
 Saudi Arabia  to Bahrain to Morocco, along with the racist, apartheid state 
 of Israel. Join us for presentations by a panel of activists who have 
 first-hand knowledge of the real situation in the Middle East. A discussion 
 period will follow.\n\nFeatured speakers:\nRamsey Clark, former U.S. 
 Attorney General; author of “The Fire This Time” (first U.S. Gulf War); 
 has traveled extensively to Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, & other 
 countries in region.\n\nMike Prysner, Iraq vet, co-founder, March Forward,
