GI and veteran resistance is growing and critical to the struggle against the illegal United States war on Iraq.
Here is a list of links – it is not exhaustive – for a number of groups doing important work in this key area:
Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors
Veterans Against the Iraq War – http://www.vaiw.org/vet/index.php
West Point Graduates Against the War
War Resisters Support Campaign
Nuremburg Principles – soldier’s legal and moral duty to resist orders to commit war crimes.
I hope some readers (especially readers in the military) will find some of these links useful on the path to — and in the act of — resistance.
United States soldiers and veterans are resisting the illegal, murderous war on Iraq. United States citizens can and should support GI refusal to carry out criminal orders resulting from all immoral and criminal U.S. wars and occupations.
For what it's worth, this blog is significantly more activist-oriented from now own. People interested in my analysis of what's wrong with U.S policy, politics, and society — and with dominant social and imperial hiearchies and ideologies —- can monitor the ZNet web site (I tend to do a piece there at least once a week), receive ZNet Sustainer Commentaries (I do one once a month) and follow my reflections in other places, including Black Agenda Report, Dissident Voice and of course Z Magazine (print). If you are inclined, you can read my books Empire and Inequality (Paradigm 2004) and Racial Oppression in the Global Metropolis (New York, 2007 – forthcoming).
My efforts at critique will continue in other venues, but I am reserving the blog from now on for positive, action-oriented material related to the forward advance of resistance, organization and activism….for democratic citizen action against Empire and Inequality at home and abroad.
