My anger and outrage at the predatory war of aggression being waged by the U.S. against Iraq grows every day this horror and obscenity continues. This war is both immoral and illegal. Not only does it violate international law (the UN Charter's prohibition of wars of aggression), it violates the U.S. Constitution (no formal declaration of war by Congress).
The bright spot has been the heroic resistance of the Iraqi people, who have been truly magnificent in striking a blow for all the oppressed against imperialist invasion. Their courage, resourcefulness, and ingenuity in fighting the foreign invaders are an inspiration to oppressed people everywhere. No matter what the outcome, they have already scored a moral victory by holding up the U.S. blitzkrieg for several days now, with much lighter and less well-equipped forces. Defeat U.S. imperialism! Victory to the Iraqis! Their fight is the fight of ALL oppressed people worldwide!
But the Iraqis can hardly be expected to defeat the U.S. behemoth all by themselves. Those who oppose this war (and anyone who doesn't is either a monster or a moron, or both) can help to ensure right prevails over might, wherever you are located. Here in the U.S., if everyone who opposes the war (or anywhere near all of them) goes on strike and engages in civil disobedience (blocking traffic, etc.), that will be enough to paralyze the capitalist system here, and thus halt the U.S. war machine. Workers elsewhere can resist by refusing to handle war materiel. If the U.S. military can't resupply its troops, it will have to call off the war. Remember, the U.S. supply lines, stretching all the way from North America to the Middle East, are extremely long and vulnerable to disruption.
Economic warfare also plays a role. Boycott all U.S.-based companies overseas! Convert your dollars into euros! Don't invest in the U.S. economy-- pull out any money you have invested in it. A collapse of the dollar will be a major blow to U.S. imperialism, especially now that the U.S. is running such a huge trade deficit.
Finally, even those within the bowels of the imperialist military can resist. Refuse to fight this unjust war of aggression, in which you are being ordered to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity! Soldiers-- turn the guns around!
Together, we can STOP THIS WAR!
