No to U.S. Military Attacks on Iran or Syria by the U.S. Government or Its Proxies (NATO, Israel, Turkey, etc.)

The U.S. government has been escalating its threats against both Iran and Syria. President Obama has repeatedly said that military attack “is not off the table” for Iran and that the government of Syria has to go.

This is illegal interference and war against countries that have not attacked or threatened the U.S. or its allies.

The U.S. and its allies have also imposed more and more sanctions against both Iran and Syria, and tried to destabilize both of them with money and arms to opposition groups.

We need to protest and organize against this and, as well, also prepare for a demonstration of outrage if the U.S. government or one of its proxies (such as Israel or NATO) launches a military attack on Iran or Syria. We should be prepared to come out for an emergency protest.

The U.S. claims to uphold democracy and the rule of law, but in fact international law in the UN Charter and elsewhere condemns such aggression against countries that have not attacked the U.S. as a crime.

Regardless of what excuse the U.S. gives for attacking another people, we must firmly oppose U.S. slaughter of human beings. The people of all countries have the right to self-determination, to decide their own future.

The U.S. has no right to prowl around the world, looking for opportunities to gain control of more countries. We know from long experience of unending U.S. wars that they are only for the benefit of the super-rich who want to expand the U.S. empire and get control over other peoples’ resources, markets, labor power and strategic locations, while blocking their rivals.

The corporate media is constantly used to demonize and lie about those the U.S. government targets and to promote hysteria in a buildup to war. Meanwhile, they omit or downplay what the government really wants in its reckless military assaults.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of the heads of other governments or their systems and culture, it is our duty to try to hold back the bloody hands of the U.S. government. This is how we fight for peace and justice–against the world’s greatest terrorist.

If an attack begins in the morning, before noon our time, everyone should assemble that day at 5 p.m. at the Federal Plaza. If the attack comes later, we will protest at 5 p.m. the next day.

THE CALL TO COME OUT WILL BE GIVEN ON LINE. BUT THE LATEST NEWS WILL TELL YOU WHEN TO COME OUT TO FEDERAL PLAZA. SEE YOU THERE. ORGANIZE YOUR TELEPHONE TREES NOW.
