"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...

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.

Liam Madden is a Veteran of a four-year tour of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, including seven months in Iraq. After returning to the United States, Sergeant Madden seized the opportunity to mobilize his fellow service members to speak out against the illegal, unjustified, and never-ending occupation of Iraq.

Liam is a co-founder of the Appeal for Redress, a campaign of active service members who are appealing to congress to remove all American military forces and bases from Iraq. From within the ranks of the military Sergeant Madden has been propelled to the forefront of the anti-war movement. In building the Appeal for Redress Liam has dedicated the last few months to being a leading activist and acting as a media spokesperson for the 1,200 service men and women who have signed the Appeal.

"There are some important issues that people need to raise. And this is one very close to my heart," Madden stated on CNN recently. Liam hopes the movement to end the war will catalyze people in this nation to seek a new direction in our society. The Army Times quoted Madden in an article covering the Appeal for Redress: "Not one more of my brothers should die for a lie. This is my generation's call to conscience."

Liam is appearing regularly in the national and international media, including 60 Minutes on CBS, MSNBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, National Public Radio, Newsweek, LA Times, Salon, and The Washington Post. Liam is motivated by the urgency to end the war and he is determined to reach through the apathy of our culture and inspire people to change the world.

As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq . Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.
