The Arab American Action Network calls for an immediate end to the bombing of Iraq, which has now entered a third day. News reports say that at least 25 civilians have been killed in Baghdad, and television pictures show men, women and children severely injured in the bombing.
Casualty reports from other areas have yet to come in.
These facts underscore our fear that the principal victim of the bombardment is the Iraqi civilian population. Only an immediate end to the bombing can ensure that no more innocent lives are lost. We are committed to empowerment through advocacy, action and education and to expanding the resources and services available to our community.
