Many of us followed the Congressional hearings in which US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and the other military commanders were questioned about the growing scandal of the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison. We all heard about the apology made by Bush himself for the Iraqi POW abuse, We are not going to wait for the results of the investigations with Rumsfeld or with Bush himself. We are waiting for their polices to be changed, so you will not have to ask us again, "why do they hate us?!". Again, we won't be waiting for the results of the Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld testimony, as the abuse case, which might have been existing without the awareness of the US adminstration isn't the only crime the occupation committed against Iraqis. But how about a crime that the American and British administrations, and considerable percentage of the populations of the two countries, decided to commit with cold blood?! How about the crime of "war" which killed 15,000 Iraqi victim?! How about the victims of the "Shock and Awe" plan, the target of which was to awe the Iraqi civilians before the soldiers?! How about the crime of "Pounding Falluja" with 500lb laser-guided cluster bombs by US warplanes, which left 700 Iraqi victim in 12 days?! How about targeting ambulances and hospitals in Falluja. How about the Amnesty report which shows that, in Iraq, after one year of invasion, the human rights situation remains dire: |
They misled the whole world, and lied about their real motivations behind the waged war: They wanted to wage a war for oil - as some say - or maybe for something else we don't know about, but they misled the world when they pretended they had other reasons to go to war for - they couldn't prove those alleged reasons until now: |
In the build-up to the war, President Bush said in (state of union speech), on Thursday, January 28, 2003, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa". And just before the war started, in his weekly radio address on the 8th of march 2003, Bush said, "The cause of peace will be advanced only when the terrorists lose a wealthy patron and protector, and when the dictator is fully and finally disarmed". After the war : in an interview Monday night aboard an Air Force jet en route to Washington following a five-day tour of Iraq, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said:"Finding the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction that President Bush cited as his main justification for going to war is now a secondary issue". Moreover, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said to CBS news that she doubted that weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq. The same thing was said by British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw in an audio interview to the BBC |
Despite the fact that he didn't form a real threat, American forces got rid of Saddam Hussein - the US administration admitted after the war that Saddam didn't own weapons of mass destruction. So why are the coalition forces still in Iraq until this very moment? |
Until this very moment they haven't proven any relation between Al-Qadea and the former Iraqi regime. After all this, we are asking you to speak out, so that they will be able to hear with us what was said by a British soldier:"We're not helping ourselves out here. We're never going to get the Iraqis on our side. We're fighting a losing war". We are afraid that American and British youth will be hated for the deeds of some warmongers. So now what we can do: Let us - youth of the world - demand that the ministries of defense of Coalition countries stop that war: - We want public tribunals in every square, at every capital, for those blood-lovers. - We call on the media to pressure the new war criminals. - We want our voices to be heard, we are saying "stop human rights violations in Iraq" NOW. - Demonstrations everywhere to call for swift withdrawal of US forces from Iraq. - Addressing international organizations like the United Nations and the Security Council, asking them to start acting against the Anglo-American occupation. - Any other way you deem appropriate. |
