Send anti-war email to the troops!

a website lets you send anti-war email to the troops

http://www.projecthomefires.com is a web site set up by reactionary pro-war
people to send emails of "support" to the troops murdering the people of
Afghanistan. It has an on the web interface which allows you to send emails
to all the major ships, etc. and says that these emails are forwarded to
individual service people. We can use this to send anti-war messages, news,
documents, etc. to the troops. Additionally, let us make sure that we use it
to let the people being forced to fight their brothers and sisters in
Afghanistan that millions here in the U.S. and around the world oppose the
war and stand ready to support any resistance they offer. Build the GI
resistance to this unjust racist war against the people of Afghanistan and
the upcoming U.S. war against the people of the world.

END THE WAR! END THE BOMBING! U.S. OUT OF SOUTHEAST ASIA! FREEDOM FOR
PALESTINE! FREEDOM FOR US ALL!

"We Will Celebrate the Death of Your Institutions With Such Fierce Dancing!"

Send this message to the troops by Steelgate 9:29am Sun Nov 11 '01
Below is a message from Vietnam Veterans Against The War, the troops will be
more likey to listen to ex servicemen than anyone else.
We are an organization of veterans of the armed forces of this country. We
have been to war and have seen what military power can and cannot
accomplish. We know what war does to those who fight it and those who live
where it is fought. We hear our government loudly pledge support for our
servicemen and women as they are sent into battle but have seen it turn its
back on many when they returned, suffering physical and mental wounds, from
the Vietnam and Gulf wars.
We agree with Congresswoman Barbara Lee that "military action will not
prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States".
The use of massive military power will only escalate the cycle of violence,
spreading more death and destruction to more innocent people with no end in
sight.
Afghanistan has already been destroyed by 20 years of foreign occupation,
civil war and religious repression. Both the British and Soviet armies were
unable conquer that country. We see many parallels between Vietnam and
Afghanistan but the lessons we should have learned from the war in Vietnam
are being ignored today.
We speak out of duty to our country and the world, solidarity with those
serving in the military and love of our families and friends when we take
this stand:
*We condemn the criminal attacks of September 11 and demand that those
responsible be held accountable and brought to justice.
*We mourn for the victims and offer our heartfelt sorrow and sympathy to the
families and friends of those we lost.
*We condemn bigotry and violence against Arabs, Muslims and immigrants which
threaten these communities because of their race, nationality and religion.
*We oppose efforts to curtail our basic civil liberties and democratic
rights and must defend the Constitution from those who are undermining it.
*We do not believe that militarism and war will provide justice or security
and oppose major US military intervention in Afghanistan or other countries.
On a more fundamental level, our country has to address the reasons behind
the violence that has now come to our shores. The seeds of this anger and
hatred were sown over many years.
For over a century, Western corporations have dominated the Middle East to
profit from its oil. For the last 50 years, the United States has supported
Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands and has helped prop up corrupt
regimes in some Arab countries. The continued American troop presence in
Saudi Arabia and the suffering of the Iraqi people under economic sanctions
has added to this resentment.
As long as US foreign policy continues to be based on corporate exploitation
and military domination, we will continue to make more enemies in the poor,
underdeveloped countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. We can achieve
enduring security and lasting peace only through domestic and foreign
policies based on social and economic justice. That will come about only
when the American people demand it.
