3 years ago, "shock and awe" began: bombs reigned down on the people of Iraq, and an invading army began its brutal occupation. Since then, one war crime after another has been committed - from the systematic torture at Abu Ghraib (and elsewhere), a blitzkrieg attack on Fallujah which included the use of white phosphorous chemicals on civilians, house-to-house raids, continued bombings, round-ups and imprisonments - in short, a brutal imperial occupation. This murderous and illegitimate war was based on blatant lies that the Bush regime still refuses to own up to. Over 100,000 Iraqis and 2,000 American soldiers have been killed on the basis of these lies. The Bush regime arrogantly promises to continue this occupation, and sets its sights on invading more countries.
But in the run-up to the war, something else happened: millions inside the US took to the streets to stop the war, showing that this war and this regime does NOT represent the will of the people. This powerful anti-war movement exposed Bush’s lies and stood with people around the world, including those directly facing the oncoming onslaught.
The World Can’t Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime joins in demanding an immediate end to this war in protests across the country this spring. Truly, the people of Iraq can't wait another day for this brutal occupation to end.
Is there a distinction between the people in the US and the government in this brutal war of occupation? People all over the world are looking to see if the people in this country are just going along or if they are projecting their own voice, in the streets and in a growing multi-faceted resistance.
