Veteran peace activist Kathy Kelly gives a powerful talk on the human costs of the US's elective wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She tells stories of average people caught on the ground in a war zone ... and of US-government-sonsored lies, crimes, and fraud in our conduct of war and alleged "reconstruction."
And she tells stories of the courage of ordinary people in the war zones--people working to ease the suffering and repair the damage to their and their neighbors' lives.
Kelly spoke in Syracuse, New York, on October 6, 2015. Original recording courtesy of Wilton Vought (othervoicesotherchoices.blogspot.com). Many thanks. I have condensed the talk slightly for radio broadcast. The complete audio track is available on radio4all.net.
"New World Notes" is produced under the auspices (Latin for "counter") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
Kelly--and other members of the organization Voices for Creative Nonviolence--has spent long periods living among the people caught in war zones in Gaza, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
