Now Iran?

In the last 6 years, US and other imperialists have
opened a terrifying era of war, occupation and
destruction, starting in the Middle East. Starting
with the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, this inhuman
war drive has killed uncounted tens of thousands of
Afghan people and now more than 700,000 Iraqis while
bringing US-style "democracy" and "freedom" ... Today,
we are faced with increasing threats of attack against
Iran.

What is the imperialist era of war and occupation?
What are the roots of this imperialist campaign and
war
drive against Iran? How does this fit into the overall
US and imperialist plan for war and plunder in the
Middle East and the world? What should we do as human
and peace-loving people and activists in Vancouver?

Three long-time Iranian activist and journalists,
participants in the Iranian revolution who are active
in the social justice and anti-war movements in
Canada, US and Europe will talk about their experience
in the
Middle East and related issues like war and occupation
by imperialist powers in the third world.
