Don't Attack Iraq! Why we need a socialist alternative to war

The U.S. doesn’t have any evidence that the Iraqi regime is producing the "weapons of mass destruction" that Bush claims. And even staunch U.S. allies in Europe and the Middle East are opposing any new U.S. action against Iraq. Given all the lies that Washington has told during its race to war, it’s no surprise that a majority of people say they support military action against Iraq to oust Saddam. What’s surprising, in fact, is the growing numbers who have doubts--who have begun to question the administration’s claim that a devastated and poverty-stricken society represents a threat to the U.S. These doubts will only grow as the U.S. moves closer to an all-out assault. Iraq has been devastated by more than a decade of U.S. war. But the Bush gang has even worse in store. We have to stand up and speak out against Bush’s new war on Iraq before it begins. Come to the next meeting of the International Socialist Organization to talk about how we can stop the war before it starts.
