GERMANY Lieber John, selbstverständlich sind wir in Heidelberg auch mit
dabei. Wir machen am 26. um 18 Uhr eine Kundgebung vor dem US-
Headquarter. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Bündnissen der Friedensbewegung,
u.a. in Stuttgart, werden wir selbstverständlich auch Israel/Palästina
als Schwerpunkt haben. Und, da wir die US-Truppen vor der Tür haben,
werden die US-Kriegsverbrechen und die Forderung nach Abzug zentral
sein. Auch für den 25. haben wir schon was geplant.
Mit solidarischen Grüßen, Joachim
POLAND
In Warsaw, Poland, there is going to be a national demonstration on
Sept. 27 - against the occupation of Iraq and for the withdrawal of
Polish troops. Poland is governing one of the occupations zones in Iraq
and has sent around 2,500 troops. We are building for a big
demonstration to show that people in Poland don't agree with the
government's striving to be Bush's best friend and to become a colonial
"master." Demonstrators will walk to the President's Palac, the American
Embassy and the Premier's office.
Hoping for a successful day of protest on Sept. 27 Ela Inicjatywa Stop
wojnie, Poland
TURKEY
In Turkey there is going to be an important anti-occupation anti-
collaboration demonstration in Ankara on Sept. 27. You can imagine its
importance with all the discussion going on about Turkey sending troops
to Iraq. In fact, I wish some of you could come there in solidarity.

white man speaks with forked tongue by lourdes cuadra Saturday September 27, 2003 at 10:19 PM |

"WHITE MAN SPEAKS WITH FORKED TONGUE" Good work! We all have to do our part to end the violence in the world. Terrorism will not end with War, killing and maiming thousands of people,destoying homes,and any hope for their future.This War in Iraq and the occupation of Palestine and Iraq is morally wrong and a crime against humanity! For President Bush to use God to justify the crimes he has commited and continues to commit is deplorable. As the Native Americans says, "White man speaks with forked tongue". War and violence do not not bring Peace. Lies do not mean freedom or liberty. The truth sets you free and justice brings liberty.
