Attention all peace-loving activists in Ottawa-Hull!
DEMONSTRATE AGAINST THE US MILITARY ATTACK ON IRAQ!
*** Thursday, December 17 @12pm ***
*** US Embassy (Metcalfe & Wellington) ***
The Ottawa-Hull HANDS OFF IRAQ! Committee (formerly known as the Ad Hoc
Committee Against US War Preparations in the Gulf) condemns today's
US-led
military attack against Iraq and calls on all democratic and
peace-loving
people from the Ottawa-Hull region to demonstrate on Thursday, December
17,
at 12pm, at the US Embassy (Metcalfe & Wellington).
The US attack must be vigorously opposed by all democratic and
peace-loving
people in Canada and the world. The US is desperate to impose its
dictate
on any country which does not submit to its wishes to impose a unipolar
world under US domination. By attacking Iraq, the US, Britain and their
allies, are declaring to the world that MIGHT MAKES RIGHT and that all
those who do not submit will face military attack.
At just before 5:00pm EST, on the orders of US President Bill Clinton,
the
US Army, joined by Britain, launched a military attack against Iraq and
is
currently striking Bagdad. The military action is called Operation
Desert
Fox. Air-raid sirens are sounding in Bagdad and the night sky is lit up
with anti-aircraft fire. The US and Britain have a deadly store of
weapons
of mass destruction shored up in the Gulf area. The US has 22 warships,
201
aircraft and 24,100 U.S. military men and women in the Gulf region.
Eight
of of the warships carry cruise missiles. Britain has 22 aircraft in the
region, including 12 Tornado fighter planes deployed in Kuwait. Chief
weapons inspector Richard Butler unilaterally ordered UNSCOM inspectors
out
of Iraq shortly before the attack.
The people of Canada and the world will not stand for the fascist logic
of
US imperialism and will not allow the US to bring the world to the brink
of
another internecine world war.
Stop the attack on Iraq!
Oppose Canada's participation in this war against Iraq!
Hands off Iraq!
