Demonstration Against a Second Iraq War. Say NO to a Turkish invasion of Iraqi Kurdistan - the only peaceful part of Iraq.
The current threat of invasion by Turkey should be a great concern to everyone. A Turkish invasion would cause Iraqi Kurdistan, the only safe region in all of Iraq, to spiral out of control. Iraqi Kurdistan has become the home to thousands of refugees from Iran and Turkey and many displaced peoples from southern Iraq who have escaped the madness of the Iraqi war, in addition to the local Kurdish, Assyrian and Christian Iraqi residents of the region. Iraqi Kurdistan also serves as a region for R&R for American troops.
Any risk to this region would be catastrophic to the entire region. The conflict at hand between Turkey and Kurdish rebels is one that can be solved PEACEFULLY and through DIALOGUE. Officials all over Iraq have repeatedly offered political dialogue as an alternative to war. Support this alternative and convince the world that it is the ONLY option for a solution. A new war in Iraq will NOT solve anything.
A Peaceful Solution is the ONLY Solution.
Join Kurds, Iraqis and other Americans in this peaceful demonstration in San Francisco at City Hall. Come support peace and say No to war!

Kurdish communities have organized protests in several cities including Atlanta, GA, Los Angeles, CA, Dallas, TX, Nashville, TN, Phoenix, AZ, San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, and Washington DC. The demonstrations in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Nashville, Phoenix and San Francisco are expected to take place on November 2nd, 2007 and in Dallas, TX on November 3rd, 2007. The demonstrations in New York and Washington DC will take place on November 5th, 2007 to coincide with the visit of the Turkish prime minister in Washington DC.
Demonstrations will be highlighting the importance of preventing a Turkish invasion of the only peaceful part of Iraq, and recognizing the legitimacy of the Kurdistan Regional Government and its potential role in a peaceful process to solve the conflict existing in the region. The demonstrations will also highlight the importance of belief that a political and peaceful solution is the only viable solution to the conflict, and that the peace offerings and Kurdish rebel ceasefires negotiated and supported by members of the Iraqi government should be recognized as important developments to the progression of peace in the region.
Representatives in each of the cities are urging members of Kurdish and non-Kurdish communities in America to show their support and join the demonstrations.
