DESCRIPTION:SOUTH VALLEY RESIDENTS JOIN GLOBAL CALL FOR IRAQ PULL-OUT  VISALIA, 
 CA--Peaceful protest will return to the corner of Walnut and Mooney on the 
 first anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.  Saturday, March 20 from 
 noon to 4 p.m., South Valley Peace Center members and supporters will rally 
 for an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq at the northwest corner of Mooney 
 Boulevard and Walnut Avenue. They join demonstrators in similar gatherings 
 around the globe.  In the year since American forces entered Iraq, 553  
 U.S. service men and women have died along with an estimated 16,000 Iraqi 
 soldiers and civilians. American wounded and those suffering war-related 
 illness number between 7,000 and 10,000.  No weapons of mass destruction 
 have been discovered nor are any likely to be; facilities to produce them 
 apparently no longer exist if they ever did. This fruitless search has so 
 far cost U.S. taxpayers nearly $105 billion and will continue to cost an 
 estimated $4 billion or more a month while armed occupation lasts.  By 
 comparison, $105 billion would...   * Pay the annual salaries of more than 
 1.4 million teachers.   * Fund a year of Head Start care and instruction 
 for  10.6 million children.   * Provide a year of health care for 32.2 
 million children.   * Pay for 1.9 million four-year college scholarships.   
 * Allow construction of more than one million  affordable housing units.   
 Anyone interested in supporting this call for the  withdrawal of U.S. 
 forces from Iraq is encouraged to join this peaceful demonstration.
