March 18 Global Day of Action — San Francisco

by A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition (answer [at] actionsf.org)
This Saturday, March 18 and Sunday, March 19, 2006, locally-coordinated demonstrations will take place in cities and towns across the U.S. and around the world. As the war and occupation of Iraq becomes an increasing human disaster now is the time to say no to the U.S. war drive. In San Francisco this Saurday, March 18, 2006, the 3rd anniversary of "shock and awe", we will be gathering at 11am at the Civic Center for an opening rally followed by a march through downtown and then returning to the Civic Center for a closing rally.

BUSH LIES AND THREATENS THE WORLD

LIES:

 “The United States respects the people of Afghanistan -- after all, we are currently its largest source of humanitarian aid.”  Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People, Sept 20, 2001

“Iraq has weapons of mass destruction”

 

THREATS:

"Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”  Bush's speech to a Joint session of congress, September 20, 2001 

 “There are few greater threats than a terrorist attack with weapons of mass destruction.  To forestall or prevent such hostile acts by our adversaries, the United States will, if necessary, act preemptively in exercising our inherent right of self-defense.”

“We face no greater challenge from a single country than from Iran,”

“We will continue to take all necessary measures to protect our national and economic security against the adverse consequences of their bad conduct.”

 

Bush Doctrine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bush Doctrine refers to the set of revised foreign policies adopted by the President of the United States, George W. Bush in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In an address to the United States Congress after the attacks, President Bush declared that the U.S. would "make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them," a statement that was followed by the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. Subsequently, the Bush Doctrine has come to be identified with a policy that permits pre-emptive war against potential aggressors before they are capable of mounting attacks against the United States, a view that has been used in part as a rationale for the 2003 Iraq War. The Bush Doctrine is a marked departure from the policies of deterrence that generally characterized American foreign policy during the Cold War and brief period between the collapse of the Soviet Union and 9/11, and can also be contrasted with the Kirkpatrick Doctrine of supporting stable right-wing dictatorships that was influential during the Administration of Ronald Reagan.
