Warships head to Iran: what are you going to do? | Print | E-mail
Daniel Ellsberg became a hero to the people when he released the Pentagon Papers in 1971. These papers exposed the deceit and lies the
US government, during the administration of Lyndon Johnson, to expand and extend the war in Southeast Asia during the 1960's.
Ellsberg spoke at the September 7th World Can’t Wait meeting in San Francisco. He spoke of the massive demonstrations that took place
in the fall of 1969 across the US, and said of the demonstrators "What they didn’t know was that in fact they were stopping nuclear war. The president (at that time, Nixon) had made threats of nuclear war secretly several times starting in May and in August and September, saying
that he was prepared to use nuclear weapons on Vietnam. They said that to the Russians and the North Vietnamese directly in Paris. And
with 2 million people in the streets, he had to conclude that an ultimatum which was dated for November 1- … Historical analogy here: the
fact is that when people did march in October and November 1969 - without even realizing that a crisis was imminent, they just saw the war
was going on - they in fact stopped a massive escalation of the war. Which did take part sequentially - Laos, Cambodia, Haiphong--over the years, but the nuclear part, no."
Now, we know that an attack on Iran is being planned and mobilized by the Bush regime. Read the latest articles in The Nation and Time Magazine for further exposure of this. And we know that Bush and several of his spokesmen have openly said that "all options are on the
table". This, as everyone knows, means everything up to and including the use of nuclear weapons - "portable holocausts", to cite Ellsberg again. The consequences of this are horrific beyond description.
The Democrats are aiding and abetting the Bush drive for war with Iran. They are assisting in providing justifications for it. (For example
read what Barrack Obama is saying, and check out an article from Joshua Frank.) Nothing less than a massive public repudiation of the
entire Bush agenda and program can have any impact on stopping this.
The question is: what are you going to do?
