The brutal occupation of Iraq that we see today is the
result of a process started in 1492. The arrival of
Columbus in so-called North America marked the
beginning of the white world’s assault on humanity
with the genocide committed against the indigenous
peoples of this land and the enslavement of African
people.

For to seriously challenge the Bush regime’s attempt
to reimpose colonial rule on the world, we must unite
with the aspirations of oppressed peoples for national
liberation and reparations for the crimes committed
against them. We make the link between a society born
of slavery and genocide and the current war and
violence of the United States. Peace can only come
about through a struggle for social justice and the
pursuit of truth and reparations.
