Statement
by the United National Antiwar Coalition on the US attack on Syria
2/26/21
UNAC
condemns the US bombing of Syria authorized by President Biden. The
Biden administration has been in office for only 36 days and has already
launched its first military attack against Syria. Biden’s
justification is that the US was attacked in Iraq. The US has no
right to be in Iraq, Syria or any other
country. More than 1 million people were killed in Iraq due to the
US invasion and occupation, and countless refugees were created. The
Iraqis and the Syrians have every right to use whatever means necessary to
remove the US forces from their countries.
Trump
was the most truthful about US intentions in these two countries. He said the
US wants the oil and he went on to steal the oil rich area of Syria and occupy
it with US forces. Syria badly needs the
revenue from its oil to rebuild the country devastated by the US sponsored
war. That war included US, Israeli and NATO bombing raids, harsh US
imposed sanctions and a private mercenary force of over 100,000 – financed by
the US and its allies – that entered Syria to attempt to overthrow the
government.
UNAC
calls for groups to protest the US aggression. We demand:
End
the bombing of Syria!
End
the sanctions!
Bring all troops and mercenaries home now!
