Third World solidarity can bring peace: a call to 
rulers and exploited

September 19th, 2001--While Amerikan settler mobs 
march in the streets and drive their oversized 
cars fueled with Arabian oil into mosques in Ohio 
and over a Pakistani womyn in New York, the global 
picture for peace gets stronger.

Only 7% of the Pakistani people want to side with 
the United $tates against Afghanistan according to 
the same polling agency that shows tremendous 
blood lust in Amerika. 63% of the Pakistani people 
want to side with Afghanistan. Meanwhile, the 
picture in 27 out of 29 countries polled shows 
that majorities oppose Amerikan military 
action.(1)

Ironically, in the New York district that includes 
the World Trade Center, opinion is running 3 to 1 
against war. The representative in the House named 
Jerrold Nadler is receiving numerous calls against 
war from the people who live in the neighborhood 
of the World Trade Center.(2)

We say to the Third World people: yes, there are 
some of us within U.S. borders who heard you warn 
the United States again and again about how the 
United States is stepping on you, repressing you, 
bombing you and backing those who do the same 
things. We heard your threats and frustration. 
Only a small portion of us were paying attention 
to the news from the Third World at all, so now 
Amerikans run amok as if terrorism never existed 
before. However, whether it is through another 
Vietnam War or series of wars, the Amerikan people 
will catch up in politics, eventually.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Secretary of "Defense," Donald 
Rumsfeld says every day that he plans to attack 60 
countries harboring "terrorists." This alone is 
reason for Third World solidarity. 

On September 19th, Rumsfeld again threatened 60 
countries in an interview with CNN: "We have a lot 
of evidence about a number of countries harboring 
terrorists that are working across the globe, and 
if you think about it, the al Qaeda network 
probably has activities in some 50 or 60 
countries, not just in Europe or the Middle East, 
but even in Asia and certainly in the United 
States of America.  So the evidence is very clear 
that a number of states are doing that."(3)

Donald Rumsfeld must be sacked. He's been saying 
the same thing about attacking 60 countries for 
days.(4) If we do not get him sacked for these 
provocations, world peace will degrade further. 
His statements show that the U.$. imperialists do
not yet feel any unified sense of global constraints.
They hear other imperialists like China and Germany
tell them they want very limited if any war, but they
have not received the message yet. Such people must 
not be allowed near power. They 
jeopardize the lives of everyone.

All Third World people must understand this. 
Rumsfeld has put the writing on the wall. If he 
succeeds in lining up people for war on 
Afghanistan, other countries will be next.

Third World rulers who resist the will of the 
people will be overthrown. Those willing to make 
compromises can fight together with the people 
against the threat of Amerikan invasion. All 
around the world, the oppressed people must stand 
with the Afghani people and all other peoples 
being attacked in upcoming days.

Even though Amerikan media dominate the world and 
even though Amerikans are running amok in the 
streets carrying out war against dark-skinned 
people, the global picture is much, much brighter. 
The oppressed should not become despondent through 
the propaganda bombardment of the Amerikan media. 
The Third World peoples are already winning and 
there is no way Rumsfeld can win his war. Even 
some of us Amerikans know it already.

See for example, Secretary of "Defense" Donald 
Rumsfeld said about Osama bin Laden's 
organization, "'The Al Qaeda organization, 
however, is a large, multiheaded effort that 
probably spans 60 countries, including the United 
States, and it is much bigger than one person, and 
the problem is much broader.'" ("The White House: 
Bush Warns of a Wrathful, Shadowy and Inventive 
War," by Todd S. Purdum, New York Times,

attack countries and end states that harbor 
terrorists.
