--------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Join the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, Ramsey Clark, Cynthia 
McKinney, New York City Labor Against the War, Dr. Hans  Christof von Sponeck, Rev. Graylan Hagler, the Muslim 
American Society Freedom Foundation, Bishop Thomas
