<div><font face="verdana,geneva">During rush hour, we will send the message to the people that <span>war in Afghanistan</span> is not a "good war gone bad" but an illegal, immoral war waged for empire. We will show that the the war in Afghanistan is being fought the same way the wars in Iraq have been fought: bombing of civilians and the wanton use of torture. Wedding parties have become regular targets of bombings since the U.S. considers any grouping of Afghans inherently hostile Participants will come dressed for a wedding party. Those of us who pay attention know what happens to wedding parties in Afghanistan when the US decides civilians should not gather in large groups – but the general public in the US doesn't necessarily know. We will do street theater to show people exactly what the U.S. does to the people of Afghanistan. Bring cameras and be ready to play a variety of roles, including talking with the public about why the US occupation of Afghanistan must end.</font></div>
