>NO WAR IN IRAQ
>
>Tens of thousands will converge in Washington DC
>January 18-19, 2003
>for a MASS DEMONSTRATION
>and the Convening of the GRASSROOTS PEACE CONGRESS
>
>As momentum builds for the upcoming January 18-19 mass demonstration and 
>People's Peace Congress to oppose a new U.S. war on Iraq, the urgency to 
>take massive action has never been greater.  Today (Nov. 21), the 
>Financial Times quoted former Secretary of State George Shultz as saying 
>"there will be military action. I would be surprised if we have not acted 
>by the end of January." Yesterday (Nov. 20), top Bush security advisor 
>Richard Perle told a meeting of Labour Party MPs in England that the 
>administration was determined to go to war.  MP Peter Kilfoyle, based on 
>Perle's comments, reported: "President Bush intends to go to war even if 
>inspectors find nothing" (Mirror/UK, 11/21).
>
>We do not accept the logic of these war-mongerers that a war against Iraq 
>must happen. In fact, the people of the world oppose this war.  Each and 
>every person must take action now to prevent this catastrophe.  We will 
>not be passive observers while the Bush administration attempts to carry 
>out a war for Big Oil and the domination over the people, land and 
>resources of the Middle East.
