WAR IN IRAQ, AND CHILD SOLDIERS AND A HUMANITARIAN MISSION IN BURMA

29 March 2003

The US is now at war with Iraq. This is a war of choice, being fought under false pretenses. There was no connection established between Iraq and al-Queda, or compelling evidence presented that Iraq had and intended to use chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. Dictator Watch is as opposed to dictatorship as anyone, and Saddam Hussein is no exception. He must be removed from power, but accomplishing this by war, a war forced upon us all by an un-elected US President who cares only for his own selfish motivations, which has no multilateral support, and which has been sold to the American people using the worst of lies and propaganda, is not the way to do it.

The war is also being used by many as an opportunistic excuse to engage in all manner of repression and hate mongering. Bush continues his assault on nature, from his drive to destroy the Artic National Wildlife Reserve to his efforts to reverse roadless area, clean air and other environmental protection legislation. The war is also being used as cover by Maxxam/Pacific Lumber, which is now attacking tree-sitters who are striving to save ancient redwoods in Northern California. Back to the government, Bush, through undertaking a preemptive war, is doing his best to destroy the United Nations, all the while setting a precedent justifying repression and conquest that all manner of dictatorships will cite for decades to come. Meanwhile, John Ashcroft is working overtime to criminalize popular dissent and through this undermine if not destroy the US Bill of Rights. Further afield, North Korea, with ChinaÕs backing, is rapidly expanding its arsenal of real weapons of mass destruction. In Indonesia, the government is considering legislation

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
