No Justice! No Peace!
Twenty months on from the US and British invasion of Iraq, occupation has taken its toll. Over 100,0000 Iraqis have been killed and many more wounded. Political repression is the order of the day. Victory To Insurgent Iraq!
"Twenty months on from the US and British invasion of Iraq, occupation has taken its toll. Over 100,0000 Iraqis have been killed and many more wounded. Political repression is the order of the day. The US puppet Allawi regime has declared a state of emergancy, banned opposition newspapers, carried out thousands of arrests, and used torture against the Iraqi people. The Allawi regime have put into place an illegitimate constitution serving the interests of their US and British masters.
"Under these conditions, the Iraqi economy is in shambles. Many Iraqis lack water and electricty. Schools and hospitals have been closed, leaving Iraqis without essential services. Declining health, increasing homelessness, unemployment, and skyrocketing prices for basic necessities are the conditions faced by ever growing numbers of Iraqis. This needless human suffering is a consequence of the logic of US and British imperialism. The goals of the US and British imperialism in Iraq include:
"The US and the British are seeking to control Middle East oil supplies in order to slow the pace of their competitive decline as the EU integrates and China industrializes.
"US military in Iraq to threaten disobedient peoples in the area, including the Iranians, Syrians and the Palestinians.
"Privatization of the Iraqi economy including oil, water, electricity and all major industries. This impoverishment of the Iraqi people will enrich a handful of Western corporations.
"The war in Iraq is an unavoidable reality. The issue of "war or peace" is no longer a realistic or practical question. Instead, solidarity with those who are resisting US and British imperialism is the duty of all freedom loving people. Today insurgent Iraq is a central front in the struggle for social justice globally. Falluja, once a stronghold of resistance, is currently being decimated as an example to the Iraqi people. The US and British neocolonial project must be stopped - by any means necessary!"
