Green Party Statement in Opposition to U.S. Plans to Invade Iraq
The Green Party of the United States is adamantly opposed to President George W. Bush's plans to continue and expand military operations against Iraq. The Bush administration claims the invasion of Iraq would improve the security of citizens of the United States, but it would do just the opposite. A U.S. war on Iraq would undo decades of progress in international conflict resolution and make the world a more dangerous place for everyone.

"The size of the protests is notable because they come at a time when most political leaders and media commentators remain cautious about criticizing US policies. Organizers across the country argued that the turnout at marches and demonstrations was evidence that there is far more opposition to US policy among the American people than the relative silence of official Washington would indicate."
More from The Nation.

The first major national protest against the war on terrorism, occurring some seven months after the September 11 attack, featured a wide coalition of citizen groups representing organizations addressing specific issues such as the Israeli "slaughter" of the Palestinians, the American war on terrorism, the domestic erosion of civil liberties, corporate domination of the global economic system and mass media, racism and racial profiling, and halting military aid to Columbia."
