Americans for Victory Over Terrorism to Hold Teach-In at Columbia University: America, Iraq and the War on Terrorism
William Bennett, James Woolsey, Ambassador Paul Bremer, Frank Gaffney and Prof. Walid Phares will speak to university students and faculty and make the case for America’s war on terrorist organizations and terror regimes.
On Wednesday, February 12, 2003, at Columbia University, Americans for Victory Over Terrorism (AVOT) will host the second of a series of teach-ins and lectures on university campuses across the nation.
As the United States continues to lead the world in the fight to eradicate terrorists and their networks, America finds itself on the brink of a new phase in the war on terrorism—war with Iraq.
After more than a decade of continuous deception by the brutal and dangerous dictator of Iraq, America and a coalition of other countries are preparing to eliminate the threat of Saddam Hussein, and to liberate the people of Iraq who have suffered for years under his iron-fist oppression.
The panel will discuss why it is necessary and just for America to take action against Iraq. They will also address other provocative subjects including: the ideological roots of Islamic terrorism, promoting democracy in the Arab world, the rise of the anti-war movement, and securing America’s homeland.

About AVOT:
Chaired by William J. Bennett, AVOT’s objective is to sustain and strengthen American public opinion as the war on terrorism moves forward. AVOT promotes the democratic ideals of freedom, liberty, equality, and human rights—the very virtues terrorist groups and terrorist states wish to eradicate—and answers those who seek to erode our nation’s resolve and commitment to fight and defeat the evil of terrorism. AVOT is a project of EMPOWER.org.
