Anti-War Demonstrations Held Around the World
Michael Letwin, who represents a group called New York City Labor Against the War, said another conflict in the Persian Gulf will inevitably lead to more death and suffering. “Gulf War I killed 100,000 Iraqis and 12-years of U.N. sanctions have killed another one million, including 750,000 children under the age of five,” said Michael Letwin. “How many more Iraqis will die in Gulf War II? 58,000 GI’s, most of them working class and people of color, were killed in Vietnam.
