Global day of action on Iraq

"The Bush administration has made much of the recent advent of 'democracy' in Iraq. We believe that a precondition for democracy is the withdrawal of US troops. Iraqis can not freely decide their own future before that. Not only was the US war of 'liberation' illegal in terms of the United Nations; not only was it prosecuted despite the open opposition of most of the world; not only has it never turned up the weapons of mass destruction which justified it and not only did Bush and Blair lie about the evidence for their existence; not only has that war of 'liberation' killed up to 100,000 of the very people it claims to liberate; not only has it further destroyed houses, hospitals, sanitation, roads, water and electricity networks - besides all this, it has entrenched US troops in the region as an occupying force, bent on maintaining control of Iraq under a fig leaf of voting." Read the rest of this statement and sign on to petition ahead of the global day of action on Iraq scheduled for March 19.
