Raise the Resistance Against
US War of Aggression and Occupation of Iraq!
End US Militarism and War!
Statement of Solidarity of the Asia-Pacific Campaign Against US
Bases
It’s been four years since Mr. George Bush launched the condemnable war
in Iraq on March 20, 2003. Yet, the war of aggression and occupation
still rages on. But this time, the Iraqi people are winning the battle.
The resistance movement in Iraq is inflicting casualties on American
troops everyday and in increasing numbers. One thing is clear - the
resistance of the Iraqi people will continue and they will persevere in
driving out the invading foreign troops.
The whole world already knows that there are no weapons of mass
destruction and that Mr. Bush lied about the reason why the US launched
the war of mass destruction in Iraq. The peoples of the world are the
witnesses to the continuing slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi
people and the destruction of their properties.
The American people are already angry that thousands of their young
sons
and daughters are being sacrificed by Mr. Bush, everyday, not in the
name
of democracy but in the name of greed for the monopoly for oil and
control of the entire Middle East and all its resources. This anger
resulted to the defeat of the Republicans in the last election.
We know that US imperialism will always use wars of aggression as a
potent weapon in order to control the much needed resources in the
world
for the benefit of the big monopoly corporations. US imperialism will
always display its military strength and capability to bully nations
asserting their sovereignty. It is actually strengthening military
relations with Japan and Australia to ensure that its interest in
South-East Asia and the Pacific is well guarded.
The peoples of the world must emulate the perseverance of the
resistance
movement of the Iraqi people. It has been able to effectively resist
the
US war machinery, thwart the puppet regime in Iraq, and defend the
sovereignty of the Iraqi people.
We must act as one movement of peoples against imperialist wars of
aggression. The peoples’ resistance against the destructive war of
aggression by the Bush Administration must be heightened and sustained.
Our solidarity actions to the Iraqi people remain our contribution to
put
a stop to the war and occupation in Iraq.
Heighten the protests against the war of aggression in Iraq!
Bush and Blair, stop your war of aggression! US troops out of Iraq
Now!
Long live the people of Iraq!
End US Militarism and War!
Long Live International Solidarity!
