What now? The deepest and most profound understanding of the U.S. war is found in the tens of millions in the streets, not in the perfidious halls of an impotent United Nations. The international networks emerging are creating a new 'united nations' from below - without appeasers, accomplices and diplomats who talk the peace of the graveyard. The hundreds of millions around the world are turning to their own leaders: trade union activists, pacifists, progressive religious leaders, community and barrio leaders - "ordinary" citizens.

Some countries are drawing the lesson that a military weakness only encourages U.S. aggression. Iran, according to Israel's representatives in the White House, Wolfowitz, Feith and Perle, is the next target for "preventive war". Let us hope that Iran and the rest of the world will learn the lesson of Iraq and the failure of the UN: international solidarity and military deterrence can raise the cost of war beyond the calculations of the Washington war mongers.
