This is how long I’ve been protesting war:
My first antiwar protest was 1991, a time when my fellow #GenX college comrades were being shipped off to fight in #Iraq.
President #Bush called it “a momentous year for this generation.”
We did not agree!

12 years later, on another cold February day, I once again went to the streets, voicing my opposition to his son’s war in Iraq:
I protested the war in #Afghanistan at a time when very few did.
Most Americans thought that one was “the good war.”
We kept the protests going, anyway… for 20 years!

And Syria…
Now I’m in my 50’s, getting ready to @RageAgainstWar_ yet again.
Do you know how much it sucks having to spend more than half my life protesting the wars my country insists on starting?
I just want to live in #peace.
Don’t you?
I’m weary of protesting wars after 32 years.
