Fight Against the U.S.-Led
War of Aggression Against Iraq!
By the Committee
of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement
On 17th
January, in the dark of night, U.S. imperialism and its allies launched
a vicious and cowardly attack against Iraq. These U.S., British
and French criminals, with the support of the Soviet social-imperialists
and with their Israeli watchdog on alert, threw their massive and
sophisticated armaments against a far weaker foe. This shameful
crime cannot and will not be left unanswered.
Throughout
the world, workers, peasants, revolutionary intellectuals, and all
who oppose imperialist bullying and aggression support their sisters
and brothers in Iraq and throughout the region in fighting back
against the aggressors. Once again we call upon the people of the
Arab World and the Middle East to drown the U.S. invaders in a sea
of people's war. However great the sacrifices will be, only such
a war based upon the masses of the people can defeat the U.S.-commanded
imperialist armada.
In the
imperialist countries themselves, despite an unprecedented propaganda
barrage of lies and distortion by the ruling classes of these countries
to justify their gangsterism, a large section of the masses have
already recognized that this war of aggression is not in their interests,
and outpourings of resistance to the imperialist war have taken
place in all of the aggressor countries. We hail this resistance
and call upon the masses in those countries to step up and intensify
their struggle against this barbaric war.
While the
focus of the attack is on Iraq, it is aimed at the people of Palestine,
the whole Arab world and the Middle East. In fact, George Bush has
nakedly declared that the real purpose of this war is to establish
a "new world order" which will last one hundred years.
This order is nothing other than the same old imperialist law of
exploitation and plunder of the poor by the rich; aggression, interference
and bullying of the weak by the strong; and domination of the whole
world by the West.
But the
people will never tolerate such a terrible future. Already the need
for revolution cries out all over the globe. Their latest bloody
massacres can only intensify the hatred of the people for this system
and escalate their revolutionary struggle worldwide.
The imperialists
hope that their colossal military might will mask the reactionary,
putrid and fundamentally weak nature of a system which can only
survive through massive terror. But they have been defeated in the
past, as in Vietnam, and they can be defeated today -- just as the
Communist Party of Peru has been successfully waging peoples war
and is preparing to defeat the Yankee aggressors head on. Final
victory will belong to imperialism's grave-diggers, the proletariat
of all countries and the oppressed nations of the world.
The people
of all countries have a common interest in defeating this U.S.-led
war of aggression against Iraq.
