Photos: Monday's Emergency March and Rally to Protest Attack on Fallujah -
Monday, November 8 - Images of the emergency march and rally to protest the latest US attack against Fallujah.
Hundreds of Chicagoans turned out for an emergency rally and march in the loop to oppose the U.S. military's fullscale assault on Fallujah. As many as fifty thousands more civilians are believed to remain in the city, which is being pounded by air and artillery attacks that have razed hundreds of buildings and completely demolished at least one hospital.

It really depends on how you read the sign. Saying Fallujah is or is going to be a graveyard of many American soldiers is simply a fact. No? Attempts to constrain our thoughts and actions under the rubric of "peace activists" is almost laughable, especially at this point.

Checklist, one more time for the south and west:
Invasion of a sovereign state without provocation, check.
Roundups and torture of innocents, check.
Complete destruction of said nation's infrastructure, except for oil production facilitiesm, which we seize in violation of all international laws, check.
Lied to the American people to get into war, check.
Laying siege to major cities (think Warsaw 1944) resulting in the slaughter of innocents, women and children, now numbering perhaps 100,000, check.
Yep, the Founding Fathers sure would be proud of this group in the White House but prouder still of the 51 percent of their citizens that re-elected this gang of killers.

You imbecilic, puny brain, no grammar, brown shirted, flag draped, blindly patriotic, moron really should consider the perspective of a resident of Fallujah (or another city that has been laid to seige in modern times.)
You should really consider the fact that all human life has the same value. No "American" soldiers life is any more valuable than an Iraqi soldiers. Certainly no Iraqi civilians life is worth less than the "American" soldiers.
Being an internationalist does not mean that you are a depraved human being but a realist.
If you take the fact that there are different types of violence, the violence of a slave master whipping the slave can never be compared to the slave rising up and taking the whip from the masters hand and whipping the master. One is oppressive violence, one liberation.
Unfortunately the freedom fighters of the Iraqi resistance have the choice of being enslaved or fighting, therefore making their violence justified. The "American" soldier has a choice, enslaving a country or putting his gun down.
Is the anti-war community "America Haters" as you say, or freedom lovers? Freedom for all, regardless of the languge the resistance speaks or the color of the resisters skin?
Support the resistance here and in Iraq.
Support the troops, but only those that refuse to fight.

I don't believe in this war, most wars, but class war.
War so capitalists can make more profit, control markets or wage economic warfare is ridiculous.
Waging war for true liberation of peoples from oppressive regimes is ok.
Class war between the bourgeois and proletariat? Sign me up and point me in the right direction.
Don't call me a peacenik.
