the "Over My Dead Body" project
NEWSLETTER n° 2 | 12 february 2003

 

The whole world is holding its breath, listening for the sirens of war. Saddam Hussein is a brutal, blood-hungry dictator, whose removal from human society would be cause for celebration... yet this dangerous, absurd, clamoured for war is part of the problem, not the solution. Combatting Saddam by the invasion of Iraq will only bring grief, destruction, chaos, and enduring hatred to millions of people. The means being deployed are totally out of proportion compared to the threat that Saddam represents, especially since diplomatic means are available to keep him from doing harm. The so-called war against terrorism will be a vector of terror for a multitude, and a source of infinite profit for a tiny, manipulative elite.

The "Over My Dead Body" project is here to accompany and fortify you in these times of trouble. It is a means to resonate your cry of reason around the world, to be one with those who know that by acting together we can move mountains and confound the forces of reaction.

Our numbers increase. We are beyond 500. Take a moment of peace, and watch the people passing by: [http://www.overmydeadbody.org]

 15th FEBRUARY, GLOBAL DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE WAR:

NEW YORK / SAN FRANSISCO / LONDON / PARIS / BERLIN / BARCELONA / CAIRO / TOKYO / JAKARTA / SAO PAULO / CAPE TOWN - demonstrations are being organised everywhere! The degree of motivation is such that this world wide event promises to constitute the largest demonstration ever held, even bigger than those during the Vietnam War.

IF WAR BREAKS OUT we are all invited, the same evening, to assemble in a central place in our cities and towns.
