Truth Justice Peace Human Shield Action Iraq Pledge

"I will never apologise for the United States of America–I don’t care what the facts are"

President George Bush in 1988 (On the shooting down of an Iranian commercial airliner on July 3, 1988 by the US Navy warship Vincennes. All 290 civilian people in the aircraft were killed. The plane was on a routine flight in a commercial corridor in Iranian airspace.)

"the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do."

Samuel P. Huntington

Truth Justice Peace Human Shield Action Iraq Pledge

We the people remember our 20th Century as the bloodiest century in history, and are fully aware that the 21st Century is threatening to be even bloodier.

We the people acknowledge Saddam Hussein as a violent dictator who has the capacity to kill perhaps thousands. Meanwhile, a man who did not recieve the majority of votes in being "elected" president, George W. Bush, has the means to destroy our entire world thousands of times over. As thinking people we see the obvious, George W. Bush is far more of a threat to world peace than Saddam Hussein.

We the people recognize America's demand of Iraqi compliance with UN resolutions and disarmerment while supplying nuclear technology and support for Israel's defiance of UN resolutions as hypocrisy that is beyond belief.

We the people do not forget the vital U.S. support that helped bring Saddam Hussein to power and further remember the direct U.S. support before, during and after his use of chemical weapons against the Kurdish people (WMD technology supplied by the West including the U.S. no less).

We the people reject George W. Bush and his "Pre-emptive" doctrine as sheer madness that insures a continuing bloody cycle of violence, violence that is essential to the control of the greedy and sadistic interests he represents. We acknowledge this man as the most dangerous man of the 21st Century.

We the people acknowledge the United States declaring its willingness to use nuclear weapons (December 2002) as proof positive that the U.S. is undeniably the most powerful and dangerous nation in the history of our world.

We the people, those who genuinely seek justice and peace acknowledge that all nations must ultimately disarm, and that the United States is logically and necessarily the first nation that must disarm.

We the people acknowledge the silence and/or complicity with U.S. war policies by our governments and media around the world as wholly unrepresentative and completely unacceptable. "Not In Our Name" expresses our position with regard to the upcoming international crime of 'Aggression' likely to be committed against an already horribly violated Iraqi people.

We the people see any and all nation/state governments that support the Bush junta for what they are, cowards and criminals who are complicit in a highly profitable oil induced launch into World War III.

We the people refuse to sit idly by while the so-called "United Nations" provides "immunity" to the United States along with "legal" sanction for wars that it is mandated by law to prevent.

We the people declare our willingness to risk harm and possible loss of life in defense of justice and peace, rather than live as disempowered human sheep, blindly marching to our very own slaughter either by complicity or active support.

We the people acknowledge oppression in all its forms as the primary root of all violence, especially so-called "terrorism."

We the people, those who genuinely seek justice and peace, understand the people of the world need "Food Not Bombs," Justice Not Tyranny, Peace Not War.

We the people declare our allegiance to our human family and to the planet that provides the basis of our very existence. We are 'World Citizens' and declare ourselves as such before the law in accordance with International Law via the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights.

We the people, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, brothers and sisters stand in solidarity with all those in the human family who renounce war and embrace peace.
