To all working for a more just world,
Every day it becomes clearer that Bush, the Neocons, and other elite rulers have blundered and committed a colossal error in “guiding” and stewarding the system of exploitation that has tormented the peoples of the world for so long. In their greed and haste, they have opened up the possibility of a “new day.” Revolutionaries the world over, seize the moment! All out to DC June 5 to reject the criminal war in Iraq! No it is not over. The Iraqi people are daily giving the lie to that fantasy. And let everyday between now and then and after be days of local action and organizing to build a new society to create a world where the human needs of all are held above the quest for individual privilege. Let’s continually express this popular call in ways that are ever more visible to all. Of course they will not give us the mic or the stage willingly. Be creative. “If not now, when?” jamie
10 Soldiers Killed in Attacks in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq (April 29) -- Ten U.S. soldiers were killed in attacks around Baghdad on Thursday, eight of them in a car bomb explosion just south of the capital.
The deaths took to 534 the number of U.S. soldiers killed in action since U.S.-led forces invaded Iraq 13 months ago. About 125 of them have been killed in April, the bloodiest month for U.S. forces in Iraq since the invasion.
The car bomb went off just south of Baghdad near Mahmudia at about 11:30 a.m., the U.S. military said in a statement.
''Initial reports indicate that eight U.S. soldiers were killed and four were wounded,'' it said.
The soldiers were all from the 1st Armored Division and the wounded were flown to a Baghdad military hospital by helicopter, it added.
Shortly before dawn, a U.S. soldier was killed in a rocket-propelled grenade attack in eastern Baghdad, a separate statement said.
At around 10 a.m., a roadside bomb killed a U.S. soldier and wounded another in the town of Baqouba, 40 miles north of Baghdad. Iraqi police said an Iraqi civilian was also killed in the attack.
With just weeks to go before the United States hands over sovereignty to Iraqis on June 30, U.S.-led forces face a growing insurgency.
New polls showed Iraqi civilian deaths combined with heavy U.S. losses this month have eroded support for President Bush's war plan both among Iraqis and among the Americans who will vote on his re-election in November.
