*_The People Judge Bush_* <http://www.PeopleJudgeBush.org>

The People of the world are rising up in response to the escalating  Crimes of the Bush Administration. In Chile, where Bush was attending  the APEC conference, he was greeted by 70,000 angry protesters in the  streets, outraged over U.S. war crimes in Fallujah, where more than 800  civilians were killed by the recent assault on the city.

Antiwar activists in Chile also filed suit in criminal court, charging  Bush with violations of the Geneva Convention and other International  Laws. Bush was forced to ask the President of Chile for diplomatic  immunity during his visit.

*This shows the power of a people's movement.* We must continue to  mobilize here to stop this criminal war and hold Bush accountable.

At the very moment that the US military is sinking deeper and deeper  into the quagmire in Iraq, George W. Bush is elevating precisely those  forces within the administration who were the most vigorous advocates,  supporters, and defenders of the U.S. war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan,  and Guantanamo: Condaleeza Rice, the new Secretary of State, was a  advocate of pre-emptive strikes as the basis for the so-called Bush  doctrine; Stephen J. Hadley, the new head of the National Security  Council argued for the use of "mini nukes" against the people of Iraq;  and the new Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, wrote memos approving  the use of torture and the illegal detention of prisoners in Guantanamo.

Furthermore, as the Bush Administration prepares for its second term, it  is attempting to overshadow its crisis in Iraq and its failing economic  policies by making new threats against Iran and North Korea.

It is one thing to put a right-wing government in place and another  thing to carry out a right-wing political policy at home and abroad. The  Bush Administration is facing an unwinnable war and a failing economy  with rising deficits, a declining dollar, and disappearing jobs.   Thirty-two years ago, Richard Nixon won the largest electoral vote in  history, but less than 2 years later he was forced to resign rather than  face impeachment.

The movement must demonstrate that it is not intimidated by the  appointment of these criminals and their right-wing agenda. Building a  mass movement to struggle against the war and occupation can change the  entire political landscape and put Bush, Cheney, and the other members  of this criminal administration on the defensive. It takes determination  and initiative, but it can be done. 

We have outlined an Action Plan to Stop the War below. We encourage you  to endorse the action plan, to get involved, and to help with the  enormous expenses involved.
