The U.S. doesn’t need oil from the Mideast, but Mideast gas and oil are needed by America’s
economic competitors in Europe and Asia, and so control over them gives the U.S. a major advantage over China, Germany, and other countries - a chokehold which benefits only the American economic elite, the one percent. For that purpose, the U.S. illegally invaded Iraq in 2003 and killed perhaps a million people, in the greatest crime of the century. The U.S. now has thousands of troops (and mercenaries) throughout the Mideast.</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class=""><br class=""></p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">Those of us in AWARE, like other anti-war groups in the United States and around the world, call upon President Trump to<br class="">~ (1) establish a foreign policy based on negotiation, international law, and human rights;<br class="">~ (2) end U.S. wars in the Mideast and war provocations against Russia (in Eastern Europe) and China (in the South China Sea), and stop the drone assassinations;<br class="">~ (3) cut milit
