Everything the Bush Regime is Doing is INTOLERABLE! The World Can’t Wait
until 2008!
1. NEWEST STATEMENT FROM THE WORLD CAN'T WAIT NATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE
(go to worldcantwait.net to download and distribute this flier):
Three and a half years into a war that should never have been launched,
Iraq has been plunged into a human, environmental, and geopolitical
catastrophe of staggering dimensions. A new study estimates that over
650,000 Iraqis have been killed since the U.S. invasion and those still
standing are captives to one of the most violent and unrestrained
occupying forces the world has ever seen.
Whole villages wrapped in barbed wire…homes turned into prisons…thousands
of men and boys dragged from their families and “disappeared”…or stuffed
into closets and killed in front of their children… children shot by
snipers…hospitals and roads destroyed… women and girls raped… soldiers
with nicknames like “Monster” and “King of Torture” acquitted…war-crimes
green-lighted…and the desert sands are drenched with blood.
Already preparations have begun for a new, possibly nuclear and even more
devastating, war against Iran. And every bit of torture and degradation
captured in the boastful pictures snapped at Abu-Ghraib prison has been
made legal through the bipartisan approval of Bush’s Military Commissions
Act.
This is what is being done in our names. None of it is tolerable.
Meanwhile, the very freedoms the U.S. purports to be extending at the
barrel of a gun in Iraq are being savaged here at home. The President can
snatch anyone off the street, hold them indefinitely without trial, and
torture them merely on his say-so. Fascist theocrats unrelentingly
assault science and the fundamental rights of women and gays. Vigilantes
hunt immigrants as politicians cheer them on. And tens of thousands of
black and poor victims of Katrina are still scattered more than a year
after being left to die in the toxic floodwaters.
All this sanctified with a morality fit for the Dark Ages.
This is what is being done in our names. None of it is tolerable.
Far from the end, this is just the beginning of the Bush regime’s
ambitions to radically remake the U.S. society and the world. Nothing and
no one will be unaffected by this.
The world can not wait till 2008. The Bush regime must be stopped and
driven from office.
