DESCRIPTION:The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) and International Youth and Students for 
 Social Equality (IYSSE) are holding demonstrations throughout the country 
 to oppose the drive to war in Syria. Initial demonstrations have been 
 called for Detroit and Ann Arbor, Michigan, and in San Diego and Berkeley, 
 California. (To set up a meeting or activity in your area, click here 
 .)\n\nTen years after the invasion of Iraq, the Obama administration is 
 once again dragging the United States into a war based on lies, with 
 incalculable consequences. The claim that a military strike against Syria 
 would be “limited” is a fraud. In fact, what is being prepared is a 
 much broader war that threatens to explode the entire Middle East and lay 
 the groundwork for a conflict between the major powers.\n\nOpinion polls 
 show that the great majority of the population is against a US military 
 attack in Syria. The past decade of lies and unending war has not been 
 lived in vain. However, the interests and opinions of the great majority of 
 the population find no expression in the political establishment, the two 
 parties of big business, and the corporate controlled media.\n\nAs for the 
 pro-Democratic Party organizations that led antiwar demonstrations during 
 the Bush administration, they have now lined up behind the Obama 
 administration, including promoting the US-stoked civil war in 
 Syria.\n\nThe fight against war now shifts decisively to the broad mass of 
 the population, the working class. Opposition to war in Syria must develop 
 as a conscious struggle against the Democratic and Republican Parties, and 
 the capitalist system that they defend.\n\nThis is not a time for watchful 
 waiting, but conscious political action! There is no time to lose. It is 
 necessary for all those who oppose the war to make their voice heard. This 
 question of war must be taken out of the hands of the ruling elite and its 
 political representatives.\n\nThis event is a Protest.\n(Indybay's event
