For Workers Action to Defeat Barack Obama's Iraq/Syria War
http://www.internationalist.org/defeatobamasyriairaqwar1410.html
On the eve of the anniversary of the 11 September 2001 attack on the World
Trade Center and Pentagon, Barack Obama declared a new U.S. war, this time in
Iraq (again) and Syria. The U.S. president says the bombing is being carried
out to stop massacres and ethnic cleansing. This is standard procedure when
Democrats launch wars. Public opinion has been whipped into a pro-war frenzy
by grisly videos of beheadings of American and British captives by the
fanatical Islamists of the Islamic State. Yet a key U.S. ally is Saudi Arabia,
which beheads people all the time, and Barack Obama personally signs off on
every drone strike. The Islamists use swords and knives, the U.S. uses drones.
A "war against terrorism"? The U.S. military machine is the biggest terrorist
force in the world. The Islamists slaughter hundreds, the Pentagon murders
millions. This is a war for U.S. imperialist domination of the Middle East,
and for world hegemony. While opposing all sides in the communal civil wars
wracking Iraq and Syria, class-conscious workers must use their power to
defeat he capitalist/imperialist war that targets the poor, oppressed and
workers of the world.
