UC Santa Barbara brings the war home; 

plans Student Strike Feb, 15 to Protest War



Students at University of California - Santa Barbara are planning for a student strike in protest of the war on February 15 (the 4th anniversary of the 2003 anti-war protests that brought out millions of people around the world). In the face of Bush's escalation of the Iraq war and threats of attacking Iran, the campuses have been all too quiet. This student strike is exactly the kind of action needed if this war and this regime is going to be stopped.



Campus meetings are being held tonight, Feb 1 in Arizona, New York, California, North Carolina, Hawaii, Washington, Georgia, Illinois and Texas, planning for Teach-ins, the drive to impeach and possible spreading of the student strike on February 15.



A great synergy between the movement to end the war and the drive to impeach Bush is needed now. Iraq spins out of control. Bush escalates and threatens still wider war with Iran. The Bush program of torture and illegal detentions continues. These are War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.



Bush's full program remains in effect. NSA Spying, the Patriot Act, the Military Commission Act; all continue... and ALL ARE ILLEGAL. The whole program of the Bush Administration must be thoroughly repudiated by removing him from office before his term expires; otherwise, the whole direction he has taken society will be condoned, legitimated, and made permanent.



It is time to put impeachment back on the table. A movement to impeach Bush for War Crimes can quickly advance the whole struggle; making ending the war and removing Bush a reality. As impeachment becomes imminent and Bush's war options grow more limited, the more his war crimes are exposed, the greater the impetus for his removal and repudiation.



On the weekend of February 17, activists, leaders, academicians, writers including Cindy Sheehan, John Nichols, Dennis Loo, everyone who sees the need and opportunity to remove the Bush regime from office for its crimes and repudiate its program, will gather in New York City to plan how to accomplish this in 2007.

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.  -- Ernest Hemmingway
