Sign the Letter

"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

From the Director

Debra Sweet

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.

Statement from Ed Begley, Jr. For World Can't Wait Press Conference

'My wonderful Republican father always asked what I was FOR, not just what I was against. âI understand what you're opposed to', he'd say, âBut, what is your alternative?

Well, I believe there is an alternative to the current war on terror that this administration has waged for the past 3 years.

It is the same alternative that I suggested at a press conference in October of 2002, months before the invasion of Iraq began.

Take those same billions of dollars and invest in HUGE Federal subsidies for the following EXISTING, OFF-THE-SHELF, technologies:

Solar Panels

Wind Turbines

Electric Vehicles

Hybrid-Electric Vehicles

Natural Gas Vehicles

Home Insulation

Public Transportation

And, Bike Lanes

In a very short time, we will ELIMINATE our need for Middle East oil and ELIMINATE the funding for Bin Laden, Al Queda, and other terrorist organizations'.

As the World Can't Wait Call states: "your government suppress science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price." and I urge everyone to participate in the nationwide protests when Bush makes his State of the Union Message - to drown out his lies and demand Bush Step Down and Take Your Program With You - on Jan. 31 and in Washington DC on February 4th.

Thank you.
Ed Begley, Jr.
