>As the war on Iraq now moves into an extended occupation, and with threats 
>directed at Syria and Iran, the content of the Not In Our Name statement 
>is more relevant than ever. As we say in the statement, "We must take the 
>highest officers of the land seriously when they talk of a war that will 
>last a generation and when they speak of a new domestic order. We are 
>confronting a new openly imperial policy towards the world and a domestic 
>policy that manufactures and manipulates fear to curtail rights."
>
>The Not In Our Statement has already accomplished much in helping to shape 
>the great antiwar movement that developed in opposition to the attack on 
>Iraq, and in inspiring opposition to the continuing arbitrary detention 
>without charges of immigrants and non-citizens, as well as citizens like 
>Jose Padilla.
>
>At this point, working with local activists, we have plans to publish the 
>statement in many more cities, for example New Orleans and Houston. The 
>statement has now appeared in 76 publications that we know of, from Salt 
>Lake City to Sydney, Australia. If you would like to work on publishing or 
>distributing the statement in your community, or join a discussion group 
>on the statement, please get in touch with us at staff at nion.us.

>As always, it is your contributions that make this on-going work possible.
