Sara has spoken first hand with youth in Baghdad and traveled there several times during years of U.S. starvation blockade on Iraq. She was part of one of the last visits to Iraq just before the U.S. invasion and could see the resistance training and arming that the U.S. military so arrogantly dismissed claiming they would be welcomed as liberators. She has witnessed what Wall Street's war looks like -- in Sudan, after a U.S. bombing of the one vital Pharmaceutical plant, she was in Belgrade, Yugoslavia as U.S. bombs were falling on a beautiful city. She climbed atop the rubble of schools in Lebanon at a time when the country was littered with more that 1 million U.S. manufactured cluster-bombs.
