This week with the crisis in the Middle East widening the prospect of a U.S. attack on Iran is becoming increasingly more dangerous. As the bombing continues, the Bush Administration has announced that it is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, in a blatant display of its agenda for domination of the Middle East. In the name of the War on Terror the Bush Regime has invaded Afghanistan and then Iraq in order to forcibly shatter and recast the entire region, removing governments, heads of state and political forces that stand as a barriers to U.S. control over the petroleum wealth and geo-strategic importance of the region.
“Your Government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.”
At our inception as an organization we took our inspiration from the Not In Our Name Statement of Conscience and its spirit of taking responsibility for the actions and machinations of our own government. The Statement says: “As George W. Bush bullies his way through his second term, let it not be said the people in the United States silently acquiesced in the face of this shameful program of war, greed, and intolerance. He does not speak for us. He does not represent us. He does not act in our name.”
We find it urgent that people step out into the streets to oppose the mounting danger of a new and even more dangerous war; as war plans already drawn up for massive bombing and the potential for escalation and use of nuclear weapons against Iran. This must not happen in our name. The whole agenda of the Bush Regime must be brought to a HALT because the world truly cannot wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
