Iraq Veterans Against The War

[drewkitty]

In recent debates with psuedo-conservatives, I have become aware that they have quite a bit of ignorance regarding the nature of the war in Iraq and the cost in money and lives.

I found a group that seems to know something about the subject. "Iraq Veterans Against The War"

From: http://www.ivaw.org/faq

A: Here are 10 reasons we oppose this war:

1. The Iraq war is based on lies and deception.

2. The Iraq war violates international law.

3. Corporate profiteering is driving the war in Iraq.

4. Overwhelming civilian casualties are a daily occurrence in Iraq.

5. Soldiers have the right to refuse illegal war.

6. Service members are facing serious health consequences due to our Government's negligence.

7. The war in Iraq is tearing our families apart.

8. The Iraq war is robbing us of funding sorely needed here at home.

9. The war dehumanizes Iraqis and denies them their right to self-determination.

10. Our military is being exhausted by repeated deployments, involuntary extensions, and activations of the Reserve and National Guard.

Can't disagree. #5 makes me hesitate... if individual solders can declare a war as an "illegal war" and not go - that has massive implications for our military services in general. Hope no one does that when we really do have a problem!
