[Nettime-bold] (Fwd) War & racism are not the answer (sic!)

["Ivo Skoric" <ivo@reporters.net>]

Ramsey Clark found a new cause - after taking Milosevic and 
Karadzic under his wing, he'd add Bin Laden to his illustrious group 
of proteges.

How sickening! Ramsey Clark and the International Action Center, vigorous
supporters of the authors of the Srebrenica massacre (where twice as many
died as at the WTC) and the "cleansing" of Kosova, now have the chuztpah to
tell us they are against "anti-Muslim racism"! The mind boggles at such
hypocrisy!

Refuse to sign their statement, boycott their cynical "peace" march, and
work to expose these Stalino-fascist charlatans!

Pass it on!

Weinberg

PS Can we--WBAI dissidents/exiles, Independent Media Center, Direct Action
Network, War Resisters League, Women in Black, Mayday Books, Workers
Solidarity Alliance, Anarchist Forum, Nicaragua Network, East Timor Action
Network, Times Up/RTS, Greens, etc.--get together and form some kind of
legitimate anti-war coalition before these totalitarians beat us to the
punch again? Just this once, can we please rise to the occassion?
