There is no justifiable war, but too often, many people in positions of power have tried to justified war under one pretext or the other. But the truth about the present war against Iraq is that it was launched on the basis of manufactured lies. More than a million dead, millions more made homeless, a destroyed country and a dictator sent to the gallows -- where are the weapons of mass destruction? George Bush declared the war in order to change the regime and install democracy. One has to question: what kind of democracy will it be that has been imposed by military might rather than by popular vote. When a country imposes democracy on another country by undemocratic means -- we have problems bigger than "regime change" or "bringing democracy".
A recent poll suggests that a majority of Americans oppose both wars. Then why is the war still on? Probably because the US is not run by majority -- it is run by a minority that controls money and thinks that war is a good business.
War will stop only by people's opposition against it. That is why we are presenting Truth and Treason. It is our creative response to end war and bring about social justice to the victims and survivors of the war.
When Arabs love their children more than they hate Jews and the the Western World...That's when there will be peace. The work needs to come from within. Stop blaming our Western democracy and power. Start looking from within yourselves.
