REGIME CHANGE BEGINS AT HOME Hundreds of thousands--indeed millions in some cities--mobilized against the war in Iraq and the question now becomes, where do we go from here? Should we let the movement die because the architects of this criminal war say that it is over? Or should we mobilize against the tyrants responsible for this mass murder and fight to remove them from power before they spill more blood in their quest for world domination?...

The War Is Not Over Until The U.S. Leaves Iraq The U.S. and Britain have declared victory in their war against Iraq and a despicable imperialist occupation is underway. A U.S.-occupied Iraq can never be a "liberated" Iraq. The Iraqi people can only be free to forge their own future when the U.S. and all foreign invaders get out of their country...

Gee I guess it was Blood for Oil after all! The scope and duration of U.S. control over Iraq's oil outlined in the resolution goes well beyond previous administration statements, which largely have been confined to affirmations that the oil was the property of the Iraqi people. Testifying on Capitol Hill in March, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said, "The oil of Iraq belongs to the people of Iraq. It's the source of revenue to run the country."...

Charley Reese: Iraqis say no to Saddam, no to the United States and no to Israel Don't let the Bush administration con you into blaming Saddam Hussein for the suffering caused by the sanctions. From Day One, people opposed to the sanctions, including me, pointed out that economic sanctions only hurt the common people, never the government...Every administration in Washington has always known that. One can only conclude that the administrations wanted the people of Iraq to suffer. Well, they did....

Robert Fisk: So he thinks it's all over... The Americans, he said, still had "to root out the terrorist networks operating in this country". What? What terrorist networks? And who, one may ask, are behind these mysterious terrorist networks "operating" in Iraq? I have a pretty good idea. They may not actually exist yet. But Donald Rumsfeld knows (and he has been told by US intelligence) that a growing resistance movement to America's occupation is gestating in Iraq. The Shia Muslim community, now supported by thous...

The Arrogance Of U.S. Power 
Senator McGovern, of whom it has been said that he represented the constituency of America's conscience, also said, "the president frequently confides to individuals and friendly audiences that he is guided by God's hand. But, if God guided him into the invasion of Iraq, he sent a different message to the pope, the Conference of Catholic Bishops, the mainline Protestant National Council of Churches, and many distinguished rabbis -- all of whom believe the invasion and bombardment of Iraq...
