1. Only internationalism can bring global peace. Many people already know that the u.$. war will only create more terrorism and war. Each country must put itself in the shoes of the other country. For every action of imperialism, we must ask, "what if every country decided to do that? What would happen?" What if every country decided to get rich by taking slaves, killing off the indigenous people and then making war for natural resources?
What if every country justified a war to "support our troops" on the border of some other country? It is clear that this sort of thinking leads to global disaster quickly, but Amerikkkans are the last to figure it out, because they have received too many economic benefits from previous wars.
2. The peace movement has failed and needs to steer away from complacency by raising its political consciousness and studying political power struggles in similar circumstances. The apathy of others is not a reason for the peace movement to get "tired." It could be our own lack of political consciousness that failed to convince the apathetic.
People in the peace movement should re-arrange their lives to give a portion of their daily resources to the cause of justice. That too is a matter of the quality of the movement. A movement that merely holds candles and marches can never win.
3. MIM opposes the war whether the united $tates "wins" in a day or whether Iraqis kill a six digit figure of Amerikkkans and British. We only favor wars that address the causes of violence, such as the U.S. Civil War. This war does not address the causes of the problems and only makes them worse.
4. Nations making war to free themselves from oppression and economic exploitation are only doing what is natural. The united $tates is an imperialist country, a country with an economic system that exploits the whole world and cannot stand still within itself. The humyn will to be free of oppression and exploitation is a given and permanent. Economic systems on the other hand have changed many times. It's time to change again.
5. Stuck within their system, the imperialists have succeeded in forcing people to ask whether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, instead of asking whether it is possible in general to stop arms proliferation. The spread of weapons of mass destruction is inevitable in a capitalist world. The rulers blame northern Korea for supposedly not being capitalist and at the same time they panic in public that the Koreans might sell nuclear weapons for money: welcome to capitalism.
