Afghan-Americans Protest US Bombings


My friend and colleague Fatima Mojadiddy just completed this short video about a protest at the Federal Building in Los Angeles where Afghan-Americans gathered to demand the U.S. stop bombing Afghanistan.

As we continue slogging through the depressing policy nuances of the electoral cycle, its critical to remember that Obama supports an escalation of troops in Afghanistan. What he perceives as "the right war" is an excuse to kill the poorest of the poor--Afghan civilians struggling after decades of violence, war, and poverty.
