On October 7 begins the ninth year of U.S. -sponsored war and ruin

this great crime, while generals and government officials talk of
sending still more troops, and of being in Afghanistan for many years,
if not decades.
We say no! With tens of thousands of innocent Afghans already dead,
no more! With nearly 1300 U.S.-NATO soldiers already dead, no more!
Step up work to build the anti-war movement!
