daniel ellsberg warned the u.s. people about the fuck-up that was the u.s. war in vietnam.



he told them about the millions of vietnamese who were dying for nothing. he told them about the waste of the lives of american troops for nothing. he told them how their presidents and other politicians were lying to them about the situation in vietnam.



he says that iraq is exactly the same as vietnam : civilians are dying just the same, troops are dying just the same, the pols are lying just the same.



the people of the u.s. and the u.k. must demand the return home of our troops. we must demand a complete withdrawal of u.s. and u.k. citizens (including 'advisors'), that the iraqi people be allowed to hold proper elections under the auspices of the u.n. and that the u.s. and the u.k. pay the iraqis massive reparations for the damage done to their country.



all reasons given for the invasion were lies. bush and bliar and their cohorts must be held responsible for their crimes against the people of iraq and must be punished by lengthy prison sentences - just as they hope to do to saddam and his lieutenants.
