New Priorities Vigil

Date: 

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

Location: 

Peace and Justice Plaza at Franklin Street Post Office

Tomorrow is the FIFTH anniversary of the Iraq War! MoveOn.org is organizing vigils across the country. Here's ours...

We will be meeting on the fifth anniversary of our misguided invasion of Iraq to honor and mourn the great loss this senseless war has meant for the families of our service men and women and the loss of resource our government could have used for humanitarian or economic purposes.

Address: 179 E. Franklin St., in front of the post office building (across from campus) (Map)
Location: Chapel Hill, NC 27514
Directions: 179 E. Franklin St., across from campus and in front of the post office (near intersection with Henderson). There is parking available on Franklin and some side streets with out charge after 6pm I believe. There are also a couple of parking garages on Rosemary and the planetarium parking lot are available but may still charge.
Host: Sarah Nixon

... that we've been on this futile killing spree for five years now. I'll stop at that, rather than risk my temptation to spew a whole dish of thoughts completely unreleated to local politics.

Where were y'all five years ago when this thing started? I was at a meeting of the Campaign to End the Cycle of Violence when we heard the news. I just recently rediscovered the photo below from the next day, which managed to make its way onto Yahoo News.

(Ah, the days before I managed to discover the razor and its many uses.)
