USA,HANDS OFF IRAK!

NO SUPPORT TO PRO-IRAK OR PRO-IRAN KURDISH NATIONALISTS!

In the final days of the election campaign Bill 
Clinton, being cheered on by the jealous war-drum 
beating Republicans from the wings, has used the 
present round of jockeying of pro-Iran and pro-Irak 
Kurdish Nationalists, in order to collect the 
anti-Saddam votes of the previous Bush 
administration. This synical attack against 
Irak is taking place in the face of growing 
misery, starvation and health deterioration of 
millions of Irakian poor and working class 
people. But also in the light of the lifting 
of the ban on Irakian oil which would have 
lowered the price of oil on the world market,
cutting into the profits of the mega corporations, 
if Irakian oil for food and medicine for the 
starving and sick masses were to be dumped out 
on the market.

Naturally all communists must condemn this synical 
and brutal "clean" attack with the "smart" bombs 
of Imperialist America.

In back of this brutal attack we have two big 
factions of Kurdish Nationalists. The one who 
is getting it support from the Mullahs of Iran 
and the other who is being backed by Saddam 
who,s main contribution to the Kurds was to 
carry out a brutal and genocidal war with 
chemical weapons a few years back. It is also 
said the saddam has even been responsible for 
killing numerous members of the same family 
who the present leader of the one Kurdish 
faction seen on CNN as one of Sadam's new 
Kurdish generals. And its no better with the 
faction that is getting its support from the 
Mullahs in Iran. The blood of many Kurd and 
Iranian workers is on the hands of these 
muslim fundementalists. Not to mention the 
Turkish regime who for years has done 
everything in its power to surpress the 
rightful national demands of the Kurdish 
people.

In this mini "exile" statelett created by the 
allied coalition during the American Imperialist 
led UN war on Irak after their occupation of 
Kwait and directly a product of the hate of 
the Kurds and their right to self-determination 
and land to build a state on by all of the 
countries which border this area Iran,Irak 
and Turkey. All three of these countries are 
using the Kurdish Question in their own 
little expanionist goals, especially the 
Mullahs and Sadam. None of these bordering 
countries have and interest in seeing the 
creation of a Kurdish State! In fact all 
of them through there past actions against 
the Kurdish minorities have proven that. But 
the Kurdish political scene is dominated by 
groups that are cowtowing and being armed by  
these states! None of these Kurdish groups 
have the interests of the Kurdish people 
at heart nor their right to a country and 
self-determination. All of these groups 
appear to be playing into one military 
click, mullah led hands of one of the 
bordering countries who are using this 
question to whip up nationalism and preparation 
for war against each other in a historical dead 
end cycle..

What is needed in these countries and 
amongst the Kurdish people who have no 
country is Communist parties of a Bolshevik 
Leninist model. A party who fights 
independently for poor and working class 
people against the tin pot dictators and 
mullah fundementalists and out side intervention. 
Who puts the slogan of the United Socialist 
states in the region, including a state 
where the Kurds can live and thrive, against 
all of the present regimes in the area. This 
is why communists can give no political support 
what so ever to the present warring Kurdish 
factions being backed by their respective 
clients!

The complete bankruptcy of the present 
leadership of Kurds who capitulate time and 
again to the regimes of the bordering 
countries and some of the fractions who 
call on American imperialism to help them 
deserve no support!

USA,HANDS OFF IRAK!

NO SUPPORT TO PRO-IRAK OR PRO-IRAN KURDISH NATIONALISTS!

LIFT THE BAN ON IRAKIAN OIL!

Only parties in a reforged communist International 
can show the way forward.

Warm Regards
Bob Malecki
