Thurs, 7/30th. at 7pm. Minneapolis; Speaker, Kathy Kelly: Eyewitness Report from Pakistan..
The U.S war in Afghanistan is expanding into Pakistan. In an almost-colonial-sounding reference, the war is sometimes referred to as the "Af-Pak" war.

*What is really happening today in Pakistan?

*How does Pakistan relate to the growning U.S Military presence in Afghanistan?

*What are the effects on the Pakistani people of the expanding war?

Come on July 30th public meeting with Kathy Kelly, coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence to hear an eyewitness account of conditions in Pakistan today.

Speaker: Kathy Kelly
