"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.

Bush Deserves Prison, Not a “Pro-Life” Award

We received this from War Criminals Watch

Honoring George Bush with a “Pro Life Award” is something like honoring an iceberg for sinking the Titanic--although the cost in human life totals hundreds of thousands, not hundreds. This is to say nothing of the millions of lives disrupted, families broken, and horrendous injuries, both physical and mental.

WAR IS NOT PRO LIFE! BUSH DESERVES PRISON, NOT A PRO LIFE AWARD for

Illegal Wars causing the death of over a million people, including thousands of US deaths, sanctioning Torture, violating our Constitution, and smashing any hopes for world peace into the foreseeable future.

Bush received this award from the Catholic group Legatus at its annual Summit, Feb. 4-6, in Dana Point, Calif. In one of his of his last acts as president, Bush declared Jan. 18, 2009, as “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.” Incongruously for one who declared not one but two illegal and immoral wars, he stated that “the most basic duty of government is to protect the life of the innocent.”

This declaration was the culmination of eight years of anti-abortion policies that included opposition to embryonic stem-cell research, the appointment of two “pro-life” Supreme Court Justices, an executive order barring federal funds to be used for abortion-related projects abroad, and a rule protecting federally funded health employees from taking part in abortion or practices that conflict with their faith.

For these draconian anti-birth control efforts Bush received the award. The context of aggressive and illegal wars in which these supposedly “pro-life” measures occurred is apparently not a concern of Legatus. Legatus is keeping the exact date and time when Bush will be on site a tight secret. On Thursday, February 4 a number of groups held a preemptive and peaceful protest! Mike Haas, 2010 Nobel Peace Nominee and author of George W. Bush, War Criminal?, also spoke at the rally.

The protest was endorsed by ANSWER LA, OC Peace Coalition, War Criminals Watch, World Can't Wait - LA , AfterDowningStreet.org, PDA-OC and other peace and justice groups.
