Drive U.S. / NATO Imperialists Out of the Middle East
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.
