zaterdag 26 oktober organiseren een groot aantal organisaties in de VS protesten tegen de politiek van het Bush regime
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26:
Internationally Coordinated Day of Mass Actions
On Saturday, October 26, 2002, the first anniversary of
the signing of the so-called Patriot Act bill, anti-war
and civil rights forces are joining together to launch a
massive international mobilization in opposition to a new
war against the people of Iraq.
The A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition is calling on organizers from
campuses and communities around the U.S. and the world to
hold picket-lines, rallies, vigils, teach-ins and more in
their local areas on this day.
***************

2) ORGANIZE AN ACTION in your city or town: Email

***************
During the 1991 Gulf War, 100,000-200,000 Iraqis were
killed as U.S./UN bombers dropped more than 88,500 tons of
explosives on Iraq during that 42-day assault. In the
years since, more than 1.5 million Iraqi civilians have
perished as a consequence of malnutrition and disease
caused by economic sanctions.
People in the United States and everywhere have an
obligation to stop the Bush administration's mad drive to
launch a new, all-out military aggression against Iraq.
The Bush administration has no right to wage war against
a country that is posing no threat to the United States.
Disregarding all international law, Bush, Cheney,
Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and company are planning to send tens
of thousands of young GIs to kill and be killed in a war
for Big Oil.
We call for civilians and soldiers alike to exercise their
political right to speak out against an illegal war that
will benefit only Exxon/Mobil, Texaco, Chase, Citibank,
Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing and George Bush's corporate
backers who are his real constituents.
While world public opinion is decidedly against Bush's war
drive, it will take a mass peoples' movement--in the
streets, workplaces, communities, campuses and high
schools--to stop the coming war.

Why to start a new useless war in Iraq? Ok, Iraq is not helding itself towards the UN conventions bla bla... But what about the US? As far as I know, they 've the most dangerous wheapons in the world. So they want to learn Iraq and the world a kind of lesson? And shouldn't we think about a more constructive solution? I mean, to start a war (England and the US have started there first atack yesterday in the west of Iraq...) is just destructive and I guess it will make Saddam only stronger in his country. My suggestion would be: supporting the important opposition of this dry, pour and hungry country. This might give them a better future in the long term and this region is not at all getting more stable with this attacks. These US / UK activities are just not understandable... Is there someone who could explane? Please...
Wisdom to the world!
