The destruction of the Askariya Shrine, loved by Muslims of the Shiite and Sunni faiths alike was no sectarian action.

For 1200 years the Shrine was protected by the people of the historic city of Samurra, of the Sunni faith, and visited by millions of the Muslims of the Shia faith every year.

George Galloway, the British parliamentarian who was drummed out of Tony Blair’s Labour Party in 2003 for his principled opposition to the American and British aggression against Iraq, and for his unrelenting willingness to publicly call prime-ministerial and presidential lies and war crimes by their proper names, has had copious experience of being libeled and slandered in return.

Part I: Why "Anti-War" has to be "Anti-Racist" too

As a speaker at a San Francisco anti-war rally last fall, I tried to emphasize the importance of seeing the threatened war on Iraq in terms of this country's racism here and around the world. In that spirit, I ended my comments with a chant by some activists of color marching to the rally: "One, two, three, four/We don't want your racist war!"

NO PROFITEERING FROM WAR AND OCCUPATION!

A CALL TO ACTION AND INVITATION TO THE PEOPLES GLOBAL ACTION BLOC IN
TORONTO ON MARCH 19TH, INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST THE WAR

********************************

Those who cast their ballots voted for the end of the occupation but their hope will be frustrated soon pushing them towards the Resistance

Despite the massacres committed by the occupants, the US completely failed in setting up a reliable puppet regime with a significant domestic support base. Eventually they learned their lesson and understood that the growing popular resistance can not be subdued only by brute military force. Political steps are necessary to overcome the isolation of their puppet regime in Baghdad. As the last remaining remedy appeared the elections which Washington originally intended to avoid fearing the ascendancy of forces not under their full control.

====> NO PROFITEERING FROM WAR AND OCCUPATION!

====> An INTERNATIONAL CALL for PEOPLES' GLOBAL ACTION BLOCS on MARCH 19
and 20 to EXPOSE and TARGET WAR PROFITEERS

On March 19th and 20th 2005, people across the world will march to
commemorate the invasion of Iraq two years ago, and to oppose the ongoing
occupations of Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and Haiti. In Canada we will
also be marching to oppose the ongoing genocide of indigenous peoples
throughout the Americas, the normalization of torture camps, Ottawa's
recent shift towards deepening its diplomatic support for Israeli
apartheid at the UN, as well as the massive displacement of peoples by
capitalist development projects, including the demand for cheap and
flexible labor and its corollary: the criminalization of migrants and the
construction of Fortress North America and Fortress Europe.

From the Social Forum to an Anti-imperialist Forum

There is no doubt that the movement against globalisation has constituted for the last decade an opposition force to the mono-polar capitalist world which developed out of the bi-polar set-up of the Cold War period. However, faced with its incapacity to point out strategic parameters in order to turn into a force of resistance to concrete imperialism of Yankee domination, we find ourselves in front of two challenges. Firstly we have to explain both the factors which allowed the temporary success of the anti-globalisation movement in unifying very diverse forces and its political failure to develop into an anti-imperialist resistance force. Secondly we have to outline the possibilities of going beyond the anti-globalisation movement towards a movement prepared to resist the central pillar of world capitalism in the next period, Yankee imperialism.

ALL OUT ON JANUARY 20th !!!

The COALITION AGAISNT WAR AND RACISM

Listen to a radio documentary, on the May 2004 street demonstrations in Guadalajara
Mexico against the 3rd Summit of the ALCUE, which gathered representatives
from 25 European countries, joined by 33 of their Latin American and Caribbean
counterparts. The closed-door negotiations of the ALCUE, regarding "free-trade"
economic policies effecting more than 1 billion people, were confronted by
thousands of demonstrators from throughout Mexico and the world.
