‘Not in Our Name', Protesters Say of Iraq War

Thousands of Australians Thursday walked out of their
homes, schools and

workplaces to join an emotional wave of protests, and
rowdy scenes erupted in Parliament as the U.S.-led -
and Australia-supported -- war against Iraq began.

The largest turnout was in Melbourne where students
joined unionists, religious and community groups and
rock singers in a 20,000-strong rally

outside the State Library. The Melbourne protest spread
several blocks.

Protests flare across globe as US strikes Iraq

More than 100,000 Germans took part in anti-war
protests, with youngsters skipping classes to attend
rallies and pensioners waving banners calling for the
war to end.

More than 60,000 workers, young people, union members
and pensioners marched through Berlin's city centre,
carrying banners reading "Stop this oily war" and
"Yankees go home".

Demonstrations Protest War Around the World

Greece's largest labor union called a three-hour
nationwide strike for Friday, followed by a march to
the embassy. The governing Socialist Party has called
on Greeks to attend the protests and teachers' unions
gave students the day off to participate. . . .

In Italy, a two-hour nationwide general strike was
called for late afternoon.

Earlier, students, labor union members and other
protesters marched in several Italian cities. An
estimated 45,000 people turned out in Milan. Police in
Rome blocked anti-war demonstrators marching up Via
Veneto toward the U.S. Embassy, while tens of thousands
of students, workers and other

Italians blocked highways and train tracks elsewhere.

Thousands take to the streets in protest as war begins

Tens of thousands of anti-war protesters filled streets
and squares, blocked roads, walked out of schools and
universities and temporarily stopped work yesterday.

Trade unionists, students, hospital staff, civil
servants and students joined hundreds of noisy,
spontaneous demonstrations across the country. . . .

Unions also reported big numbers of people taking time
off work. Civil servants, including some working in the
offices of the deputy prime minister, John Prescott,
and the environment secretary, Margaret Beckett,
demonstrated during their lunch breaks.

Many tube, rail, post office and communication staff
left their workplaces around the country to protest. In
London, editors and staff of the British Medical
Journal and BMA joined hundreds of RMT workers and
civil servants in Tavistock Square, London. Most had
been given time off.

For Immediate Release March 17, 2003 11 a.m.

HOT CARGO EDICT FOR IRAQI WAR CARGO

Saint John Longshoremen have declared a "hot cargo"
edict for military cargo destined for the Iraqi war.
Unless the United Nations gives its approval, the port
workers have voted to support that position and intend
to request other Saint John workers and citizens to
adopt the same stance.

The Iraqi war will be an immoral war.  Religious
leaders of all denominations and millions of people
throughout the world have spoken out against an attack
on the Iraqi people.  It is clear that there are more
peaceful means with which to eliminate the threat of
the Saddam Hussein regime.

Only in the United States of America, does there appear
to be a majority of people in favour of this war.  A
steady diet of pro-war propaganda from the U.S.
administration and a compliant American media have done
its job.

We urge our American friends to seek out the truth
about this war.  We urge them to listen to the
religious leaders and the peoples around our globe who
are stating clearly and unequivocally that this war is
wrong.  We urge our American friends to imagine
themselves in the place of the innocent Iraqi men,
women and children who will be the victims of a bombing
attack.

I.L.A. Local 273 spokesperson Patrick Riley has
commented that,

"While church and state may be separated, you cannot
separate a people from its conscience.  We hope and
pray that the American conscience will prevail before a
full-scale attack occurs and more innocent lives are
lost."

He added that, "The U.N. inspectors have been making
progress.  We can unfortunately only speculate about
how much more successful they would be, if they were
working in tandem with other U.N. agencies for the
purposes of providing assistance to the Iraqi people."

Justice Scalia says war justifies rights' recess

Justice Scalia says war justifies rights' recess

The Associated Press

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Ohio (March 18, 7:06 p.m. AST) -
The government has room to scale back individual rights
during wartime without violating the Constitution,
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said Tuesday. "The
Constitution just sets minimums," Scalia said after a
speech at John Carroll University in suburban
Cleveland. "Most of the rights that you enjoy go way
beyond what the Constitution requires."

Scalia, one of the court's most conservative judges,
was responding to a question about the Justice
Department's pursuit of terrorism suspects and whether
their rights are being violated.

Scalia did not discuss what rights he believed are
constitutionally protected, but said that in wartime,
one can expect "the protections will be ratcheted right
down to the constitutional minimum. I won't let it go
beyond the constitutional minimum."

Scalia was interrupted once briefly by a protester who
shouted an anti-war statement. The protester was
removed from the room by security officers but was not
arrested.

Scalia stopped speaking during the scuffle, then joked
that the protest probably was more interesting than his
topic, which was the constitutional protection of
religions.

Kucinich On the American Led Attack On Iraq


Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), who leads
opposition in the House to the war in Iraq, issued the
following statement upon the American attack against
Iraq:

"This is a sad day for America, the world community,
and the people of Iraq. Tonight, I hope and pray for
the safe return of our troops and the end to this
unjustified war."

"President Bush has launched an unprovoked attack
against another country.  Iraq does not pose an
imminent threat to the United States or any of its
neighboring nations.  Iraq was not responsible for the
terrorist attacks of September 11.  Tonight, President
Bush has commanded U.S. forces to go to war in
violation of American traditions of defensive war that
have lasted since George Washington.  This war is
wrong; it violates the Constitution and international
law."

Congressman Kucinich will issue daily statements on the
war in Iraq. Please pass these statements on to your
friends. Help empower America's leading spokesperson
for peaceful resolution of international conflict.

with the overwhelming and bullying might of a

E-mail report of anti-war actions in downtown San Francisco:March 20, 2003

What a busy morning around here.  My building woke me
up with a siren. Then, simultaneously, anti-war
protestors, as promised, hit the streets promptly at 7
a.m.  The groups had a very amazing and successful
strategy to break up into many smaller (yet large)
groups and are roving around all the major
intersections, freeway on ramps into the city
(including the Bay Bridge).  It shutdown downtown.  I
did not think that they would be successful, since they
tried this last Friday.  But, many more came than I
expected, and they are hard core, ready to be arrested.
The news reports advise the public to stay out of
downtown.  I thought it would be over by now.  Not.
And, the police have now seemingly given up.  There are
no police stopping them.  There have been about 350-500
arrests, but the protestors created such a traffic halt
that the paddy wagons and buses could not get to the
arrestees.  I have been hold up in my apartment.  You
can't get out, and if you get out, there is! no
guarantee that you can ever get back in any time soon.
The news reporters admitted that they just can't keep
up with the roving protestors.

Market Street is a ghost town, just the protestors
walking up and down the street at will.  I tried to get
out to run some errands, I thought the crowd had moved
on to another intersection.  When I came out of the
stores there they were again.  I ducked back into my
apartment as quickly as I could as I found myself
walking with them side by side, quite accidently.  I
realized I could be scooped up by police as a
protestor.

As I try to conduct work, I find the noise from the
helicopters, the horn honking of frustration and
support, and the crowd itself is quite deafening and
very distracting.  The television is 100% reporting the
war combat, with local news breaks reporting on 100%
anti-war protestors.  BART is now shutdown after
hundreds of high school children stormed the Fruitvale
station, a major station - and this is the Black
community of Oakland. Ironically, the Asian Art Museum
opened today.  Major dignitaries there requiring
police.  Today, police are stretched.  This is really
amazing to experience.

The protestors are also at Civic Center, in front of
City Hall, about 100 yards across the street from the
Asian Art Museum.  The Fire Department is reporting
that it is experiencing major delays in being able to
respond to calls.  The reports are that at any given
time, 20-30 major intersections are being blocked.

88888888888888

I happened to pick up a copy of the NY Post from a
subway seat on the way home last night (The paper that
used to have excellent columns and reportage years ago
before Murdoch converted it to his usual formula of
sex, violence, and hate.).  There in vivid color with
accompanying descriptions were portrayed seven missiles
to be potentially dropped on Iraq.  I will spare
readers details of all of the above, but one is the
MOAB -- "The 9.5-ton Massive Ordinance Air Blast bomb
will be the largest munition used in Iraq.  Dropped by
C-130 Hercules transport aircraft [such as those which
Turkey has just allowed the U.S. to overfly its
airspace.], it is satellite-guided.  It creates a
mushroom cloud similar to that of a nuclear bomb,
destroying everything in a 1,000 ft. radius."  One of
these was demonstrated in Florida last week.

Just a few minutes ago NY1 ran through our various U.S.
aircraft and their specialties in delivering weapons of
destruction.  Will spare readers all of these, too, but
the modified B-52, which was around in the Viet Nam era
can lay down a pattern of carpet bombs. As I recall,
this means that an area something like a quarter of a
mile long and several hundred yards wide will be hit by
a pattern of high concussion bombs that will kill
anything in their path -- small birds and rodents to
small children.

Somehow I can't get it into my head why the weapons
used by terrorists -- generally pretty low tech so far
-- are potential weapons of mass destruction whereas
those described above that we may or may not drop on
Iraq are not?  Seems to me one is just as dead or
maimed by any of the above?  Pardon my puzzlement, but
I seem to be out of step with current propaganda along
these lines.  Seems to me that any who use the weapons
boasted above are just as much war criminals as the
garden variety of suicide bombers or whatever?

Third U.S. Diplomat Resigns Over Iraq Policy Thu Mar
20, 2:58 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A third U.S. diplomat has resigned partly because of opposition 
to U.S. policy
toward Iraq (news - web sites), a State Department
official said on Thursday.

Mary Wright, deputy chief of mission at the U.S.
Embassy in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, cited U.S. policy
toward Iraq, North Korea (news - web sites) and the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict as reasons for her
decision to step down, said the official, who asked not
to be named. The official did not know when Wright's
resignation took effect.

"I strongly believe that going to war now will make the
world more dangerous, not safer," Wright, the senior-
most U.S. diplomat to step down over Iraq, said in a
letter to Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web
sites) that quoted by the Washington Post.

The newspaper said Wright also criticized what she
called a "lack of policy on North Korea" and a "lack of
effort" by Washington to try to resolve the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict.

Wright followed John H. Brown, a former cultural
attache at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, and John Brady
Kiesling, political counselor at the U.S. Embassy in
Athens, in stepping down this year because of U.S.
policy on Iraq.

The United States began its war against Iraq on
Wednesday by bombing targets on the outskirts of
Baghdad and it attacked key sites in the Iraqi capital
with cruise missiles on Thursday in an effort to end
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s
rule.

Subject: Protest in Augusta, Maine


Over 55 people plus children gathered around the west
side traffic rotary in Augusta, Maine to protest the
American invasion of Iraq on Thursday evening
beginning at 5:00 P.M.  For over an hour, members of
the Women in Black (they hold a vigil every Friday
from 12 Noon to 1:00 P.M. in front of Lithgow Library)
and the Thursday Evening Peace Vigil displayed signs
and candles to protest appointed President Bush's
unending war policies.  At the beginning of the
demonstration, people were on the inside and outside
of the rotary.  Augusta police appeared on the scene.
One officer rolled down his window and asked me "Are
you the leader of this?"  I missed my chance to say,
"Yes, I am Spartacus".  I didn't, but I did tell him
that I was not the leader.  He went around to some
others inquiring as to leadership, but finally just
asked everyone to move to the inside of the rotary.  I
don't know if that's legal, but we did anyway, and it
turned out the better for us.
It's a sad day for democracy.  While in New York City
this past weekend for the Socialist Scholars
Conference, I saw soldiers with M16s in the subway
station.  They were either National Guard or Reserves,
one was in the late teens and the other looked to be
in his 50s.  All I could think of was the Home Guard
for the Third Reich, and how they were composed of the
young and the old.  When I was in High School in the
late 50s, I read "The Rise and Fall of the Third
Reich".  My High School Principal found out that I had
read the book, and asked me what I thought of it.  I
told him that I had not known there was another
country like America.  Same as it ever was.

Another World is Possible: What the Peace Movement Has
Accomplished

By Bob Wing
March 19, 2003
War Times newspaper,
www.war-times.org

As the bombs begin to rain down on Iraq, all of us are
dealing with grief, anger, and depression. Surely these
feelings will be with us for a long time, and we must
take care of each other and ourselves in the harsh days
and weeks to come.

It will be helpful if we keep fresh in our minds what
the worldwide peace movement has accomplished. Although
the Bush administration is going to war, we have
inflicted surprising, important defeats upon it. It is
far weaker today than it was just a short time ago.
Another world is not only possible; change is already
underway, and we are helping to drive it.

The world is much different now than just six months
ago. At that time we faced the prospect of the U.S.
steamrolling Iraq before an acquiescent world. We faced
the possibility that the vast majority of the people of
our own country would become cruel accomplices in the
murderous drive to empire. Washington was billing
itself as the new British or Roman Empire, boasting of
its coming glory.

No longer.

Now Washington stands isolated and humiliated in full
public view. The would-be emperor has no clothes. The
decision to go to war with Iraq is exposed as immoral,
illegal and downright monstrous. Whatever moral
authority the U.S. government once held has been
largely squandered. Whatever sense of immortality and
invincibility it once had, has been seriously
undermined. Surely not everyone understands this, but
hundreds of millions, possibly billions of people do.
In our own country, we have much work to do, but the
peace movement is much larger than most of us dreamed
it would be just a year ago.

After a six-month full court press of bullying,
threatening, bribery and bluster, the world's only
superpower came up almost empty handed. Small and poor
countries like the Cameroon, Chile and Angola felt
empowered to snub Washington's war drive. Its longtime
allies France and Germany fought it to the end. Its
newfound crony Russia said forget about it. Its partner
in globalization, China, said no. Formerly dependent
South Korea rose against U.S. militarism. One Latin
American country after another is electing progressive,
anti-globalization, anti-U.S. militarist leaders.
Turkey could not be bought for $26 billion.
Washington's lone allies, Tony Blair and Jose Maria
Aznar, are in deep political trouble.

The last six months have shown that the U.S. may be a
military superpower, but its economic, diplomatic,
political and moral reach is more limited and
diminishing.

Most important of all, and underlying all the other
developments, is the emergence of a new superpower: the
world's people. As one we rose up on Feb. 15 to smite
the empire. Antiwar sentiment is so great in most
countries that even most reactionary leaders dare not
cross us. People in more than 600 U.S. cities organized
antiwar protests, millions took to the streets and more
than 150 cities passed peace resolutions. Earlier this
month a poll showed that Bush would be defeated by any
Democrat if an election were held now.

The U.S. may launch a cowardly war, but we must be sure
that in response we increase our will and our
organization. In the months and years to come, we must
make sure the Iraqis do not die in vain.

Having accomplished much, we still face major
challenges. Undoubtedly Washington and the corporate
media will orchestrate a major reactionary appeal in
the weeks to come. We have a giant peace movement in
the U.S. But we are not the majority. Our peace
organizations and coalitions need strengthening so that
they can become effective over the long run. We need to
improve our ability to connect domestic with
international issues, address racism and to effectively
oppose the reactionary U.S.-Israeli alliance. We must
learn how to grow our movement while simultaneously
deepening its politics and organizations.

The peace movement is more important than ever. In the
short run we must fight to shorten the war, limit the
damage, save as many lives as possible, and make a
lengthy U.S. occupation of Iraq untenable. In the long
run, we must defeat Bush's militaristic plan for global
and local empire.

What a dizzying period of change, of victory and
defeat, euphoria and grief! This is what movements are
made of. Let us not lose sight of what we have
accomplished. Let us instead take heart that a new
world is not only possible, it is in the making. If we
fight on, stay strong, patient and smart, we can help
to shape it.

ORDER IN MULTIPLES OF 25 PLEASE

Distributors and friends of War Times:

As we wait today (Wednesday, March 19) feeling horror
and shame about the soon-to-begin US attack on Iraq, we
must still try to look ahead.

Unlike many Iraqis, in April we (people advocating for
peace who happen to be located in the US) will still be
alive and still able to speak and educate for a world
where the war of the stronger against the weaker is not
the only answer.

And as we say on the front cover of War Times, "the
first casualty of war is truth." More than ever, we
will need a tool to help us talk with people about the
Bush policy. As we know, this policy of preemptive war
for permanent US world domination not only spreads
death and destruction abroad but also undercuts any
effort to build a just society here in the US.

War Times remains free, but we ask for a donation of
$7.50 per 25 copies you order, more if you can, less if
you cannot. Those who donate more than this suggested
amount help to pay for those who cannot send anything.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please!  These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.

Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
