Green Party Statement in
Opposition to U.S. Plans to Invade Iraq
The Green Party of the United States is adamantly
opposed to President George W. Bush's plans to continue
and expand military operations against Iraq. The Bush
administration claims the invasion of Iraq would improve
the security of citizens of the United States, but it
would do just the opposite. A U.S. war on Iraq would
undo decades of progress in international conflict
resolution and make the world a more dangerous place for
everyone.

"The size of the
protests is notable because they come at a time when
most political leaders and media commentators remain
cautious about criticizing US policies. Organizers
across the country argued that the turnout at marches
and demonstrations was evidence that there is far more
opposition to US policy among the American people than
the relative silence of official Washington would
indicate."
More
from The
Nation.
The first major national
protest against the war on terrorism, occurring some
seven months after the September 11 attack, featured a
wide coalition of citizen groups representing
organizations addressing specific issues such as the
Israeli "slaughter" of the Palestinians, the
American war on terrorism, the domestic erosion of civil
liberties, corporate domination of the global economic
system and mass media, racism and racial profiling, and
halting military aid to Columbia."
