To most of the world, we are the terrorists

They don't hate us because of our freedoms; they hate us because every day we are funding and committing crimes against humanity.

WARNING: This video contains disturbing images

American soldiers don't sacrifice for honour, duty, country. They don't fight for America, they fight for their lives and their buddies before them because we put them in a war zone. They're not defending our freedoms in Iraq, they're laying the foundations for 14 permanent military bases to defend the freedoms of Exon Mobil and British Petroleum. They're not establishing democracy, they're establishing the basis for an economic occupation which will continue after the military occupation is ended.

Dr Dahlia Wasfi is an American doctor who campaigns for the the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of American troops and mercenaries from Iraq.
