  ---------*---------*---------*---------*---------*---------*  Open letter 
 to Bay Area Activists from Bay Area  United Against War (BAUAW):  Dear 
 friends who organized, participated, and/or spoke in the  demonstrations 
 sponsored by Not in Our Name and ANSWER on  Nov. 3 and Nov. 9.  At the 
 concluding rally of the emergency demonstration ANSWER  called to protest 
 the U.S. assault on Fallujah, Jahahara, of AFSC and  N'COBRA, issued a kind 
 of challenge to all the major antiwar  organizations to make a unified 
 response to the U.S. government's  war against Iraq. He called on the 
 national organizations, of which  we are all affiliated to one or 
 more-ANSWER, UFPJ, NION-to unify  in building a massive antiwar movement.  
 This call is so timely because the war and occupation continue  unabated, 
 the consequences for the Iraqis are devastating  (over 100,000 civilians 
 killed by U.S. actions) and over 1,110 U.S.  troops are dead and tens of 
 thousands injured.  Those of us who are old enough to have participated in 
 the  movement against the U.S. war on Vietnam know that the most  effective 
 mass actions against that war that called for bringing  all U.S. troops 
 home now  [Out Now!] were unified actions where  people of different 
 ideologies were able to come together for  Out Now despite their divergent 
 opinions on other topics. The mass   movement that was built on the streets 
 of the U.S. created  a supportive environment for  U.S. soldiers to resist 
 the war in multiple ways eventually  becoming an unreliable fighting force 
 for U.S. imperialism.  Now, it is very clear from all who spoke at the last 
 two  demonstrations, that we have wide areas of agreement. We  all spoke 
 about the need for the movement to get back into  the streets to protest 
 the war in massive demonstrations. We  all spoke about the need for unity. 
 We all spoke about the way  to bring peace and end the war was for the U.S. 
 government  to get out of  Iraq.  The next step is for all our 
 organizations to meet together  and concretely plan how this unity will be 
 carried out.  Bay Area United Against War is willing to host such a 
 meeting,  or participate in such a meeting called by others. Let's  make it 
 happen.  Bring the Troops Home Now!  Carole Seligman, Bay Area United 
 Against War (BAUAW)
