JOHN REES, Officer of Stop the War Coalition and author of ˜Imperialism and Resistance"

The outbreak of war in Georgia is already a disaster for the people of theregion. It risks being turned into a still broader problem by Dick Cheney'sthreats. The conflict is in large measure the product of George Bush's policy of US global hegemony, in the Caucasus as in the Middle East. Attempts to extend NATO eastwards, specifically incorporating Georgia, directly challengeRussian interests. Please come to the meeting to discuss this latest flashpoint in an increasingly dangerous world and forward this message to your contacts.
