(please forward widely) NO U.S. WAR ON SYRIA! TAKE ACTION NOW AND ORGANIZE EMERGENCY RESPONSE IF THERE IS AN ATTACK and organize actions before an attack USS Dwight Eisenhower off the coast of Syria Secretary of State Kerry’s demagogic speech on August 26 on the situation in Syria makes it clear that the U.S. is serious about military action against the people of Syria. Polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans are against any further intervention. However, as with the Iraq War, the government shows contempt and disregard for the will of the people. UNAC calls for all antiwar and social justice organizations to prepare for a response if there is any military action by the U.S. in Syria. We call upon all organizations to mobilize to take action opposing U.S. intervention before any military action. We also call upon all organizations to work together and make plans for an emergency response on the day after any military action against Syria. If your organization is making such plans, please click here and fill out the form so we can let others know. The issue of chemical weapons is the cover the U.S. and its allies use to justify their illegal and immoral acts of war, just as the specter of WMD’s were used as the rationale for attacking Iraq. Their real mission, as in Iraq, Libya, and elsewhere, is to force regime change in order to control energy resources and get compliant regimes in the region. The claim that a bloody military attack on a country that poses no threat to the U.S. is needed to offer humanitarian assistance is the height of hypocrisy. The result of the “humanitarian” invasion and ten-year occupation of Iraq is over a million Iraqi deaths and a country in ruin. Military intervention will not bring peace to a people already engulfed in terrible violence and destruction. Such intervention can only lead to more death and devastation. We must do all we can to stay the hand of the U.S. government as it moves towards military intervention in Syria. Please start organizing now for actions to oppose U.S. intervention in Syria. Say NO to another US War! Hands OFF Syria! Actions are already being planned in a number of areas for Thursday, August, 29 including, New York City (6pm, Times Sq.), Chicago, Dearborn, MI, Los Angeles and other areas. UNAC will put out a comprehensive list. click here to donate to UNAC Click here for the Facebook UNAC group.
