eerie silence punctuated by a few strong explosions and the hum of
helicopters above. We remained at home and watched the situation on tv.

-- It is true that millions of Iraqis have participated in the
"elections", but by international standard, the turnout was very low.
On the day of the elections Iraq was in a state of siege, cut off from
all directions. Journalists were also limited to areas of higher
turnout, and the international monitors stayed in Jordan, 1200 km from
Iraq. The elections were designed to provide legitimacy to US
Occupation. |

... But what was dramatic about Fallujah was that it was not kept
secret. So you could see on the front page of the New York Times, a big

the Fallujah general hospital. And there's a picture of people lying on
the ground, soldier guarding them, and then there's a story that tells
that patients and doctors were taken from - patients were taken from
their beds, patients and doctors were forced to lie on the floor and
manacled, under guard, and the picture described it.

Two years after the invasion of Iraq, the country continues to bleed and suffer. The death toll on all sides is mounting, and the cost of the war is soaring. The U.S. military, rather than solving Iraq's problems, is, in fact, the source of much of Iraq's instability. It's time to say NO to war, torture, and occupation, and YES to international law, human rights, and respect for the planet and its inhabitants. |
