"That which you do not resist and mobilize to stop you will learn – or be forced – to accept.”
To the Anti-War Movement in the United States:
Barack Obama is sending a surge of 20,000 troops to Afghanistan.
An antiwar movement that does not move immediately to oppose the Obama doctrine of shifting the central front of the war on terror to Afghanistan, no longer deserves to be called an anti-war movement. read more...
Reports of March 19th Actions
Mission Statement
The World Can’t Wait organizes people living in the United States to repudiate and stop the fascist direction initiated by the Bush Regime, including: the murderous, unjust and illegitimate occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan; the global “war of terror” of torture, rendition and spying; and the culture of bigotry, intolerance and greed. This direction cannot and will not be reversed by leaders who tell us to seek common ground with fascists, religious fanatics, and empire. It can only be possible by the people building a community of resistance - an independent mass movement of people - acting in the interests of humanity to stop, and demand prosecution, of these crimes.

.jpg) World Can’t Wait activists are intensely committed to stopping the “Bush” program. Though we didn’t succeed in our collective efforts to drive out the Bush regime, we set a standard, on principle, for challenging the government not to carry out crimes in our names.
But having principles is only a start. We want to stop the crimes.
Let me follow out one example. We’re paying the price for not having forced Bush and Cheney from office in disgrace once the Abu Ghraib abuse became public. We were all against the shocking memos of the Bush legal torture team; the snarling Cheney refrain that water-boarding is a “no-brainer” and keeps “us” safe; the branding of every Muslim as a “terrorist”. Torture opponents had the moral high ground during the Bush years.
Yet, we’ve allowed Bush to say, first, “We don’t torture;” then to get away with the legal cover-up. And now the message from the neo-cons is open: “We must and will torture.” 14 months post-Bush, the Cheney approach sets the agenda, despite President Obama’s promises, and intentions, to shut down Guantanamo.

 STOP THE WARS & TORTURE FOR EMPIRE!
World Can’t Wait leaflet for March 20 protests: PDF version here
The U.S is occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, and now has more combat troops – 166,000, with 30,000 more on the way – than during the Bush years. President Obama is using drones (pilotless aircraft) on raids into Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, killing hundreds of civilians. All of these attacks are against international law, because none of these countries attacked the U.S.

A week from Saturday, protests are scheduled for Washington, DC; LA; San Francisco, and smaller cities around the country. I'll be in DC, helping to surround the White House as the ANSWER coalition notes on March20.org: Anti-War Leaders: "Why I am Marching on March 20"
"Visible protest-marching to stop the crimes of our government-makes a difference because we show what we won't accept, and we learn what we're up against. These wars are not legitimate. People around the world must see that we don't support them, and know that to us, American lives are not more important than their own. Join World Can't Wait Saturday March 20 in protest..."

VP Joe Biden visited the Middle East this week to encourage the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian “peace” talks. But the kind of peace envisioned by the U.S. imperialists is one of continued Israeli domination of Palestinian land and of the Palestinian people under U.S. auspices.
Biden continued his trip even though the Israelis recently announced that Israel plans to build 1,600 new homes on Palestinian land in Jerusalem. These new homes are on top of already massive Israeli expansion of housing in the West Bank that has occurred in recent years. Israel even officially annexed east Jerusalem, even though the annexation is illegal under international law. But since Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem, and Gaza; as a result of the 1967 war; it has virtually treated these lands as an Israeli colony, or in some cases, as part of Israel.

Skeptics have reason to be weary of democracy in Iraq.
For starters, up to 500 candidates were banned a few weeks before the recent election by the Commission of Accountability and Justice as part its ’de-Baathification’ campaign of Iraqi politics and life.
The Baath party, as many are well aware, was Saddam Hussein’s party. Many Iraqis are paranoid about the Baathists to this day, so much so that a Commission has banned its members outright from partaking in the recent elections.

It has been 17 years since Dr. David Gunn was shot and killed on March 10th. He was the first abortion provider murdered by the so-called "pro-life" movement.
Begun by the group Refuse & Resist in 1996, March 10th: "Abortion Providers Appreciation Day" is marked by people who care about women and our continued right to control our reproduction.
I was marching this past weekend to commemorate International Women's Day (actually on March 8th). It's the year 2010, but there couldn't be a better time to get in the streets and take a stand for women here and around the world. See the latest attack on women's right to abortion in Nebraska: the "fetal pain" law being debated. What about the pain of the woman? ABC Local Affiliate
