<p><font size="2"><span>March 19 is the anniversary of the
2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. Since then the war has
expanded to Afghanistan and under President Obama,
Afghanistan has escalated. Now the CIA is leading a
‘secret’ war in Pakistan and causing a major
diplomatic crisis with a Blackwater agent who worked
for the CIA imprisoned after allegedly killing two
Pakistanis. And, the war in Iraq continues with tens
of thousands of troops, and tens of thousands of
mercenaries still fighting in Iraq as protests against
the Iraqi government increase. </span></font><font
