U.S.A. Lie of the Week: "Today should be always remembered as a day where Iraqis expressed different opinions and weren't shot for it." - Ari Fleischer 4/15/2003

On April 15th seventeen Iraqis were killed and nearly sixty wounded by US Marines for protesting the US occupation of their home. US soldiers opened fire on a protest in Mosul that happened in response to a speech by US puppet leader Mashaan al-Juburi. To further silence any opposition, the US then buzzed the town with F-14s, reminding people of the devastating bombings that have killed thousands of Iraqi civilians since the US's forced "liberation" began. Additional protests took place across Iraq as the fabricated media spectacle of joyous Iraqis collides with reality.

Protests Erupt Throughout Iraq, World Against USA
"This is no freedom" chanted protesters in Baghdad as armed US occupation forces watched with guns ready. In Nasiriyah, 20,000 Iraqis poured into the streets to protest the US takeover of their home. Corporate media bias was exposed after images of 40-50 anti-Saddam Iraqis were glorified for days -- and yet, there has been almost no mention of anti-US protests which were easily one hundred times as large. In the past few days, protests have taken place in San Francisco, Rome, Brazil, Athens, South Korea, Jakarta, Kiev, Manila, Washington DC, Sydney, Istanbul, Caracas and Mexico City. In addition, a call has been made for a Global Anti-Imperialist League to unite the people of the world against the US government, the European governments, and any Arab government which would allow US profit thugs to rape and destroy the world.
