Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Environmentalists Against the War Jan. 18, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco Environmental Anti-War Kick-off: 11:00 a.m. - Noon Let's Roll! March and Eco-Auto Convoy: Noon - 1:00 p.m. Please visit www.workingassets.com/nowar for more information and to volunteer. Dear Friend of Working Assets, Environmentalists of all stripes who oppose Bush's plans for a preemptive invasion of Iraq are encouraged to bring their bicycles, hybrids, electric cars, friends, children, parents and neighbors to a rollicking, rolling gathering for opposing the war. It all starts at an anti-war kick-off rally with folks from local and national environmental organizations making the connection between oil dependency and Bush's dangerous rush to war. Sponsors include Working Assets, Sierra Club, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Ruckus Society, Global Exchange, Bluewater Network, Walk SF, SF Bicycle Coalition, Greenpeace, Project Underground, Rainforest Action Network, and Earth Island Institute. Join us on the steps of Grace Cathedral at 11:00 a.m. on Jan. 18 for a pre-march gathering featuring signs, banners, letter writing tables, t-shirt giveaways, music, alternative vehicle fair, a game of pin the gas can on the SUV, and even a blessing of the hybrids and electric vehicles. (To reserve your sign now, visit www.workingassets.com/nowar) At noon, environmentalists marching on foot, riding bikes and driving eco vehicles will form the first-ever, anti-war green machine convoy. This rolling environmental celebration will then proceed to the anti-war rally which begins in San Francisco Civic Center at 1:00 p.m. As you may know, at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday Jan. 18, a massive anti-war demonstration will be held at San Francisco Civic Center. This may be your last chance to participate in a large scale protest before the Bush administration launches a preemptive strike against Iraq. Please join us and other like-minded environmentalists for the Jan. 18 kickoff at 11:00 a.m. at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. Then march and ride with the eco-anti-war convoy to Civic Center, and stand up against the war. Find more details, including an opportunity to volunteer at the event and reserve an environmental, anti-war sign at www.workingassets.com/nowar Sincerely, Michael Kieschnick President Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 There is another anti-war demonstration in London on 15 February. Last time 40000 to 50000 people demonstrated - it would be good if it was even bigger this time. We will be going.

Its not "so-called" in 1991, instead of marching into Baghdad, which we should have done, the U.S. followed the wishes of the coalition and stopped short and called a cease fire which Baghdad agreed to, but has violated ever since. If President Clinton wasn't so limpwristed, he would have changed the leadership of Iraq in 1994. Instead of that, he was too interested snapping the thongs of fat interns.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 > Well, Iraq has this coming. Saddam has only violated the 1991 cease fire a few thousand times. So you believe it's alright to kill a few hundred thousand innocent people because of the behaviour of one man? Anyway, what ceasefire? If there has been one, I bet the Iraqi people wish someone had told Bush - there hasn't been a single week since 1991 when the US haven't bombed Iraq. I'm also unaware of Iraq attacking anyone - perhaps you could enlighten us as to how they have broken this so-called ceasefire? On the other hand, over 1 million innocent Iraqi citizens have been killed by US and UK actions since 1991 (figures from Amnesty International). And how about America - vetoed action again Israeli breaches of UN conventions no fewer than 143 times in the past 5 years (that was the figure a couple of months ago, it's probably gone up since). But then, who cares about the Palestinians - they don't have any oil, do they! Of course, if Iraq "had it coming", then what about the US - they've been hosting terrorists for years (supplying arms to the IRA for decades), invading countries whenever they want to, vetoing UN resolutions virtually every day, breaching the terms of the Geneva convention, indulging in horrendous human rights abuses, bombing civilian targets whenever they want to...according to Amnesty International "Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed or "disappeared", at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame." So, I guess on your logic, we'd better get bombing the US fairly quick! > But, he is much better than the last President and a better option than Al Gore. Just imagine if he would have > won. How terrible that would have been - an environmentally conscious president. I could imagine.

We might have a US which did cut its damage to the environment (the US currently produce more polution per capita than any other country). I'm imagining....it's a shame that our grandchildren probably won't have the opportunity to do the same - when Bush and co have managed to destroy the world.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Hi Mark > Not true. Amnesty International should be disbanded and its figureheads arrested for sedition. Perhaps you could cite your evidence for calling Amnesty International liars. I should warn you that such a comment is libellous unless you can back it up. Perhaps you could tell us hom many Iraqi citizens have died through US / UK action if you believe Amnesty International is incorrect. I look forward to your well-researched answer.

You haven't answered my question - who have Iraq attacked? And how do you explain weekly bombings by US aircraft if there is a ceasefire? Are you saying that the US is in breach of its own agreements as well as everyone elses?

I think you misunderstand the concept of the UN - it is designed as a vehicle for the US to force its views on the rest of the world. Incidentally, why do you think there is such a thing as the third world? Could it have anything to do with the extortion of the US and UK????
