There can be no doubt that the hegemonic bourgeois corporate global zionist capitalistic media is readying the masses to give their manufactured "consent" to yet further acts of aggression against peace-loving nations, including Korea (excluding the occupied south), Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Serbia, Pakistan and others.

We must not allow ourselves to be diverted by alleged rough-handling of a few legitimate prisoners of war taken by Iraqi resistance fighters.

The resistance movement must be confident it enjoys the whole-hearted support of politically progressive forces in Britain and elsewhere.

If the resistance fails, the Bush Gang will attack another country. If they succeed, a grievous blow will be suffered by the Bush gang.

Already, in Afghanistan, the Zionist-Imperialist invasion force is now entrenching Northern Alliance warlords and gunmen, and is hoping for a compliant regime to allow it to “command” the region from strategic bases.

With 16 bases established in surrounding countries since the illegal, unprovoked invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, the US has realised important strategic aims.

Shouldn’t this supposedly endless “war on terror” make us feel rather gloomy about prospects for peace?

No!

We have no time to be gloomy: too much to do!

The US warmongers fear public opinion, because they must pay lip service to a semblance of democracy. We must give them good cause to go on fearing it.

The semblance of democracy could be ruthlessly imposed on Iraq, as it was on Afghanistan, unless the progressive elements of western societies ratchet up the pressure on the "democratic" so-called political representatives of the hegemonic fascistic capitalistic states of the anglo-phone axis of terror.

It is absurd to condemn the resistance to the US occupation in Iraq, as being masterminded by terrorists.

After all if the United States were invaded and occupied, would everybody who fought to liberate it be a terrorist?

Iraqi resistance is fighting on the frontlines of the battle against Empire. And therefore that battle is our battle.

Is it possible to be anti-war while advocating the cause of one side in a military conflict?

Our starting point in answering this question must be to recognise every nation's basic democratic right to self-determination, to national sovereignty.

Siding with such a resistance movement does not mean endorsing every action it carries out in an attempt to defeat the foreign occupation forces or endorsing the political views of any individual or group involved in such a resistance movement.

It does, however, warrant refraining from criticising those actions if the only pupose of so doing is to give comfort to the fascist aggressor zionist globalising capitalistic aggressors!

Before we prescribe how a pristine Iraqi resistance must conduct their secular, feminist, democratic, nonviolent battle, we should shore up our end of the resistance by forcing the US and its allied governments to withdraw from Iraq.

We must also recognise that people who bravely resist US military occupations are actually doing the cause of peace a favour. Even if this involves cutting off the heads of so-called women aid workers and alleged "civilians".

The sustained and successful armed resistance of the Vietnamese National Liberation Front made the US establishment back off from direct foreign military intervention for nearly a decade after Washington's decisive defeat in Vietnam

The message for the subjects of the US empire is clear: don't turn the other cheek unless you want it beaten.

The mechanism by which the corporate media will attempt to legitimise the continued occupation of Iraq - 200,000 dead already - plus 500,000 dead Iraqi childern - is to point an accusing finger at a few (possibly faked) executions of know collaborators!

The clearest way to defy this strategy is to acknowledge the right of the Iraqi resistance to conduct extra-judicial procedures in pursuit of justice according to the time-honoured mores and customs of their own society without mealy-mouthed quibbling about their methods by intrusive western do-gooders.

What is such interference if not a type of rape?

Those of us who come from former colonies ... think of imperialism as rape... Racism plays the same part today as it did in colonial times. There isn't any difference.
