<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><BR>Again, US troops have sealed off Falluja and
are<BR>bombarding it from above and attacking from the<BR>ground.<BR><BR>Again
they have 'seized' the main hospital, according<BR>to the news, denying medical
attention to anyone who<BR>needs it.<BR><BR>Again they are saying men under 45
can't leave, which<BR>means that families will be trapped in the city
if<BR>either they don't want to be separated or only the<BR>husband / father can
drive. Last time, at one<BR>checkpoint, we managed to negotiate that one man
under<BR>45 could leave with each car if he was the driver. It<BR>means men are
forced to stay and will either be<BR>detained in house sweeps or killed, if the
US achieves<BR>its objectives.<BR><BR>Millions of us demonstrated against the
war and, as a<BR>result, civilian casualties were reduced because of<BR>all the
attention. <BR><BR>We need to be out on the streets again, in every<BR>country,
protesting against the invasion of Falluja<BR>and the ongoing
killing.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Please note, in relation to the last e mail I
sent,<BR>forwarded from the Organisation for Women's Freedom in<BR>Iraq - this
is not to say that all of the Iraqi<BR>resistance is connected to oplitical
Islamists and is<BR>in no way to suggest that Bush and his pals and<BR>compliant
media are anything but liars when they try<BR>to categorise all the resistance
as terrorist or<BR>religiously motivated.<BR><BR>It's vital that people around
the world do support the<BR>Iraqi resistance. There are groups like Alliance
for<BR>Workers' Liberty which refuse to support the<BR>resistance for that
reason, because they believe it is<BR>all religious and anti-union. This is
complete<BR>nonsense - we need to support both the independent<BR>trade unions
and federations and the resistance.<BR><BR><BR>Please see <A
href="http://www.islamonline.net">www.islamonline.net</A> for article I wrote
on<BR>what people can do outside Iraq to support the people<BR>and oppose the
occupation.<BR><BR><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
