My yearly Iraq War anniversary (sic) correction

Activists will be tweeting and texting on March 19 to mark the eighth anniversary (sic) of the Iraq War. However, while a drastic escalation and illegal occupation began eight years ago on that date, the war actually commenced on August 6, 1990...four days after Iraq invaded Kuwait (with America’s tacit approval). On that date, at the behest of US leaders, the UN imposed murderous sanctions upon Iraq.

The bombing started on January 16, 1991—and has never stopped—thanks to both wings of the American Corporate Party.

Personally, I’d rather focus on March 20 being Meatout Day...
