The International Action Center is Holding National Demonstrations opposing U.S./NATO Bombings
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ANTI-WAR PROTESTS AGAINST U.S. BOMBING OF YUGOSLAVIA: ALPHABETICAL BY LOCATION
Everyone who is opposed to the U.S. bombing of Iraq and the recent bombing of the pharmaceutical plant in the Sudan, or the Pentagon's criminal role in Central America should oppose this latest bloody aggression. NATO and the U.S. have no right to bomb people in Yugoslavia or anywhere else.
The so-called negotiations were based on the demand that Yugoslavia accept a foreign army of occupation on their soil. It's a violation of the UN Charter and international law and represents a dangerous new level of international lawlessness. The `negotiations' only offered Yugoslavia two choices,
1. Submit to a foreign occupying army or
2. Be bombed.
That's not negotiations, that's an ultimatum.
Any bombing is not to defend the Albanian population of Kosovo anymore than the war on Iraq was to defend the people of Kuwait. The so-called Kosovo Liberation Army was financed and directed by the foreign powers to justify this intervention. It's a war for domination and economic control of the entire region. Kosovo is being used as an excuse by the U.S. and European imperialist powers to break up and control the region, its resources and markets. Kosovo has some of the richest mines in the world.
This NATO action creates a threat of wider war in the region. It shows the Pentagon's determination to build a new series of bases such as the ones that the US has in Bosnia, Hungary, Croatia, Albania, and Macedonia already. This is all about the dangerous expansion of NATO as a US commanded force.
Billions of dollars are being spent to wage war against a sovereign nation, Yugoslavia. This money is needed here at home for jobs, housing, education, Social Security and Medicare.
