Reply #11: I'm disappointed that they aren't already seeing it [View All]

[Jack Rabbit]

The world needs to confront Bush and the neoconservatives¹ every bit as much as it needs to confront terrorists. An international campaign to boycott and divest from transnational corporations, especially those engaged in war profiteering in Iraq, is long overdue. It should have started as soon as foreign troops crossed the frontier into Iraq.

The ultimate goals are:

• To force from power and bring before an international war crimes tribunal those who planned and prosecuted an illegal and unnecessary war of aggression against a sovereign state predicated on deliberate lies;
• To assure that Iraq will be an independent and sovereign state with the right and power to use her natural resources for the benefit of the Iraqi to whom they rightly belong.

As for transnational corporations, it is time that the people of the world let them know they do not own the planet and exist at the pleasure of those who chartered them; there is no such thing as artificial personhood.

Notes:

1. I refuse to say "The world needs to confront America." Bush and the neoconservatives are as un-American as one can get.
