Protest Madeleine Albright & Mass Murder by Sanctions

Former Secretary of State and Barack Obama foreign policy advisor Madeleine Albright will be speaking at the Bagdad Theatre, SE Hawthorne & 37th, on Thursday, October 23rd at 7pm.

Albright is infamous for telling CBS journalist Leslie Stahl on Sixty Minutes in 1996, when asked about the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children under U.S. sanctions against Iraq, that "We think the price is worth it."

As the substantial prospect of a new Democratic administration faces us, it is important to communicate that mass murder and crimes against humanity in pursuit of U.S. imperial ambitions are unacceptable no matter what poitical party is in power.

Turn out to protest the dehumanizing thinking Albright represents and expresses.

The event is sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Oregon. It offers an opportunity to communicate a message of peace and opposition to imperial violence to an audience with "conventional" foreign policy orientations that treat such actions and attitudes as normal and acceptable.
