A call to action that could change the world
jamie | 05.08.2004 14:36
Dear friends of peace and justice everywhere,
"The advance guard of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s mission to Iraq will leave this weekend under the command of a Dutch general, an alliance official said Aug. 4." Eruope please respond! This move by NATO could result in much more death and destruction as the "alliance" moves to rescue the U.S. disaster. If it was important to take to the streets before it is more so now. More people are with us than ever, many governments and other instutions recognise the wrongheadedness of the occupation of Iraq as the terrible costs become clearer everyday. Corporate media will never speak to the fact that we can end this occupation and change the world! Organize and act now! Please spread this call widely. jamie
