W L TOO WATCH ED with shoethe horrific r u n it of Sfpttmcitr J l . 7001. W t too mourntd tht thousands of rnnocem orad and shoolr our heaoi * n h * terrible scenes of ca mage-even a t we recalted similar iceras In Ctghdad, Panama CU/. and, a generalInnago, Virtnamr We too joined the anguished c^esttening of mill ions of Arm rieaniw hoastedo^ ysiicha thing could happen.
BUT T H E MOURNING had barely begun, when th* highest leaden of the land unleashed a spirit of revenge. They put out a ilmpUsUe Script of "good vs. e v ir the i was la tan up by I pUam and intimidated media. They told us that asking wiry these terrible events had happened verged on treason. There was lo be no debate. There were by definition no valid political or moral questions. The only possible answer was to be war ah road and repression at home.
[H O U R NAM Ef the Gush admlnl strat ioi\ with near unanimity from Congress, not only attached Afghpjnistmbut arrogated to 1tselJ and IU aIlies the right to rain downmilitary force anywhere and anytime. TVw brutal repertutjlom have been fen from the Philippines to fttrstki*, wtare Israeli U n is and bultdoiers have left a terrible trail oF death and destruction THE GOVERNMENT ROW OPENLY PREPARES TOWAGE A LL4U TW A R ON I R U - A COUNTRY WHICH HAS KOC0KN ECHO N IC THE HORROR O f SEPTEM BER U . WHAT KtNO OP WDRU> W ILL THIS BECOME If THE U.S* GOVERNMENT HAS A B LAN A C H IC R TO DROP CO MHAKO0S, ASSASSINS* AKO BQ MRS WHEREVER IT WANTS?
[N OUR NAM E* within the U.S*, the government has ereated turn ctasses of people; those to whom the basis rights of the U .S. legal system are at least promised* and those who r o v seem tohave no rights at alt. The government rounded up over 1,009 InviMgrants and detained them In secret
and Indefinite]/ Hundreds have been deported and hutdrfds of o th m tUN langutsli today In prison. This smacks of the Infamous concentration camps for Japanese-Ameri can* In Worid War 11. For U * first time In decades, ImmlgraUort procedures single out certain national Ities for uneciul treatment
IN DUS HA M E, the government hoi brought down a pall of repression over society. The President's spokesperson warn* people to Bwatchwhat they s a y ' Dit*i<feflt artists, Intellectual*, and professors find their viewi distorted, attacked, and Expressed The so-called Pattioi Act~atong with a host of simitar measures on the state level-gives police sweeping new powers of search and seiiure. supervised If at all by secret proceedings before sec r*t courts,
IN OUR NAME, Uk executive has steadily usurped the rotes and functions of Uk other branches of government. MHilary tribunal* with las rule* of evidence and no right to appeal to the regular courts art put In place by executive order, Groups are declared "terrorist" at the stroke of a presidential pen.
WE MU5T TA KE THE HIGHEST 0FMCEA3
GF THE LA FB SERIOUSLY WHEN THEY TALK OF A WAR THAT V O L LAST A GENERATION AND WHEN THEY S FEA R OF A NEW DOMESTIC ORDER. We are confronting a new openly Imperial policy towards the world and a dame sDc poll cy tha t manufa eiun * and manipulates f e u to curiat! right*.
T H E R E IS A DEADLY T RAJECTO RY to the events of Lhe past months U uim ust be seen forwtiat it I* and resisted. 1 m many Umei In history people have walled until n was too fate lo rwslat.
PRESIDEN T BUSH HAS DECLARED:^you'refitter with us or aga butu s.' herr li our answer: Y/e refuse to aQotf you to speak for all iht American people. Wewlir not g hrfup Our right to cpjtit Ion. We wl R not hand over our consciences in return for a hollow promise of tafet/ We say NOT IN OUR NAM E. We refuse to te party to these wa rs and w i repudiate any inferenc e that they a n being waged In our name or for our wrtfa re. Y/e e* tend i hand ts those around tht world suffering from the:* poli cies; we w t t l show our solidarity in word and deed.
W E WHO SIGN this slattm em call on ail Americans to join logeUKrio rise to Dili challenge. We applaud and support die queiUonlng and protest now going on, even at we r*Cog n li* die need for much, much more u> actual' lystop this juggemauL Y/e draw inspiration from the Israeli reservists who, a i great personal risk, declare " there |$ a li mil" and refuse to u m b uh* occupation of the West Bank and Gaea,
W E A LSO DRAW ON the many examples of resistance and corad incr from the past of the United S u it s : f r m those who lought slave ry with rtte IUon* and the underground rail road, to Those who dr fled the V tram w* r by refusing orden, resisting the draft, and standing m soli darity with rt sisters.
L E T US NOT ALLO W the watching world today to despair of our silence and our failure to act. Instead, let the world hear our pledge: we will resist the machinery of war and repression and rally others to do everything possible to stop it.
