Out of Mideast NOW

The u.s. military - being used by Exxon mobile and other big oil companies as a private - in cahoots with Cheney (and with the blessings of Hillary, Biden, and Kerry), bombs and kills 180 thousand Iraqi civilians, ignores Geneva Convention and tortures prisoners, prevents certain people from ‘running for puppet government positions’, rounds up thousands of men, nightly terrorizing homes 'searching' for 'insurgents', and now causes civil war in Iraq.Both democrats and republicans alike are complicit in the genocide of Iraqi peoples by the large u.s. oil companies using the u.s. military to “liberate” mideast Iraqi oil so that the seemingly lazy and apathetic citizenry back home can drive to work in their pollution-causing, gas guzzling SUV’s.Nuremberg-type trials need to take place to see which u.s. gov’t officials (i.e. president, vice president, senators, cabinet members, etc.) are guilty of ‘war’ crimes - although their has been no official ‘declaration’ of “war” by the u.s. against the tiny, helpless country of Iraq.
Iraq, like Vietnam - where Michelin tire company and big oil vied for rubber trees and off-shore oil wells - is virtually defenseless against the large military complex of the u.s. but manages a respectable guerrilla warfare to maintain some semblance of dignity.A ‘non-declaration of war’ (in the minds of government officials) ‘allows’ the government to detain indefinitely and torture prisoners, exempting captors from charges of prisoner abuse, torture, and other human rights violations – including murder. The 1948 genocide convention and Geneva Conventions were created specifically to prevent Hilter-type abuses and tortures of all human beings, including the likes of Senator John McCain. The current human rights violations of “detainees” and “enemy combatants” must now stop.The primary propagandical excuse for allowing the newly concocted labels of Arab and Persian freedom-fighters who struggle to defend their homelands as “detainees/terrorists/enemy combatants” is that they don’t fight “fair” and wear “uniforms.”
Question: If someone a million times stronger than you with a million times more efficient and available bombs strafes your neighborhood from above and kills a thousand innocent citizens with one swipe – is it “OK” because they had a uniform on?Over 179 thousand Iraqi non-military, non-combatant, non-fighting citizens (as of November 2005) have been killed so far by u.s. bombs and artillery, while only a mere 2,300 u.s. soldiers – all well-equipped, ready, and willing for killing – have lost their lives for the profits and enormous deposits into the big oil executive bank accounts.Even so-called liberals like Noam Chompsky sanction the corporate cry that smaller, weaker, countries (generally people of color) “should not have nuclear anything” – and evidently can’t be trusted like “white people” or “americans” can with their nukes. This despite the fact that only the u.s. has dropped atom bombs on hundreds of thousands of Japanese family members not long ago. Is it true, then, that all americans are of the belief that “might makes right.” If so, does this then justify 9-11?This corrupted and racist attitude displayed by americans is typical of the current “demo-publican” excuses as they fuel their SUV’s with what is left of depleting mideast oil. Blaming the victim seems the status quo of america as they destroy others for their possessions – usually in the name of “god.”It is not too late! Speak up at your church, your coffee shop, your place of employment – contact your legislators. Join the informed, educated, honest, peaceful, and heaven-going by shouting “u.s. out of mideast!”
“There is nothing to fear but fear itself.”

Car-bombings, suicide attacks, and hostile fire from growing segments of the population have culminated in an insurgency as serious as any since Vietnam; and the country seems to grow less secure by the day.
Between 200 thousand by Iraqi estimates and 30 thousand (Bush testimony; translates to over 20 innocent Iraqis per day over last four years) Iraqi citizens have died - mostly by u.s. overhead bombs since the u.s. invasion/occupation.
Over 75% of Iraqis polled are strongly opposed to the presence of u.s. troops, who are occupying their lands for the big oil company executives (like Exxon Mobil) personal bank accounts.
Withdrawing u.s. military troops (the personal security forces for Exxon Mobil) from Iraq - and the entire mideast oil fields) is the just and honorable solution to an unjust and genocidal war. War crimes tribunals must be held to bring Bush and his administration in front of an independent court to see if genocide "war crimes" charges can be brought.
It is time to withdraw all u.s. troops to avoid causing more American and Iraqi casualties. The good people of the world MUST now shout:
US. OUT OF MIDEAST!!
