What is it about scrap the war machine, frees the peoples that U.S. imperialism doesn't understand. What is it about a foreign policy of workers of the world , Unite, that U.S. Imperialism doesn't understand. What is it about a free world market that U.S. Imperialism doesn't understand. As a Canadian whose family fought against fascism, and wrote in the United Nations charter that no member nation is allowed to plot or launch aggressive war against any other member nation, we are saddened to see the anti-facist covenants being broken and the core Nazis-Fascist methods of the axis powers being revived, these being Might makes right, Pre-emptive strikes, and Unilateralism. These discredited methods are precisely the methods the Bush cabal have put into practice , threatening the whole world with state terrorism , which is the worst terrorism possible. Bush and Blair lied and hundreds of thousands have died. In short he is a war criminal and has been found guilty as such by the democratic countries signed on to the anti-fascist covenant called the Geneva Aggreements.(1949). Namely 1) targetting and killing civialians, 2) torturing and killing prisoners of war, 3) Collective punshment such as when the iraqi resistence killed four mercenary contractors under the hire and pay of the illegal U.S. military invaders who used that as an excuse to destroy the holy city of Fallujah, filling the sports fields with dead elders and mainly women and children. There is also the C.I.A. torturing rendition flights around the world which is horrific. In short these crimes perpetrated by the U.S. military and Bush administration are too criminal and horrible to be forgotten or forgiven , and so says the United Nations sitting as a whole. It is all very well to bring the troops home but the majority of the worlds people want retribution and re-payment for the damages caused. You brag about removing Saddam but do you know that Saddam was hired by the C.I.A. to assasinate the democratically elected president of Iraq, and after three tries he succeeded in 1963 and the C.I.A. set him up as their lead man in Iraq and for twenty-seven years he headed, on their orders, the torturing and terrorizing of the Iraqi peoples , just as you see the C.I.A. torturing and terrorizing today in the detention centers , Abu- Graib, Guantanamo bay and globally with torturing rendition flights, all of which are war crimes by the Geneva Conventions. Further do you know that the Bush administrations energy policy is killing tens of thousands of American people each and every year it is in practice. Check out greenpeace america and find the truth. Further do you know that there is 35% more carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere than before the first industrial revolution and that we cannot live on carbon-dioxide and that we need the oxygen that was replaced by the carbon-dioxide to live a life of well-beingness. Further if America should "so-call" win this unwinnable war for oil and move just a few more percentage points of carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere the planet will inevitably begin a demise that may prove unstoppable and just as we the people told you before this inglorious war began, no war on Iraq. So Bush portends death to the planets livabillity which is a deeper ecological war that threatens worst, than any war that ever was before on earth. Voting Bush for an Iraq war by the republicans and democrats was a vote for a dead planet. That is what those men call victory. So not only has he lied that he up holds the truth, but he moves the whole world to necessarily revolt against him and his state terror. He has with his greed and lying created more state terrorism than any other president in the history of the U.S.A. His bogus war on terror is in reality a state terror war , at every level he literally threatens the entire worlds livability which is the worst yet from any president. A snafu is happening and to redeem themselve the soldiers brought home ought to be put to work with union rates , re-tooling the indusrial revolution to the non-pollution solution of wind, tidal, and solar power which transforms to electricity which will given the atmosphere time to let the trees utilize the carbon-dioxide and replace the oxygen before we all suffocate. The lying politicians have told you , you are free. In fact freedom as a possibility really begins with the scrapping of the war machine. It is not fully possible till that day. Candas first div. remains anti-fascist and will only move to dismantle the war machine recognizing that freedom then is possible and again without pollution, so the planets ecological balance can liberate, and not as pollution does re-conquer. Good luck to IVAW. Don't give up till the soldiers unions win, and war itself is ended on the planet. That blessed day is the scrapping of the war machine and its manufactury. Viva social liberation. Elect woman equally doubling democracy. Cindy Sheehan would make a good first woman president for you. Impeach bush for high crimes and misdemeanors and hold him for international court trial on the war crimes he has committed obviously.
