Statement of the Federación Anarquista Uruguaya > MASSACRE IN IRAQ - US Real Capitalism in action. > And so it finally happened. The massacre in Iraq on the part of > the US Empire was an announced horror. It wanted to carry it out > whatever. It was enough, as Chomsky said recently, for there to > be a knife in Iraq. But in the end, not even a knife was > necessary. International organizations, "Right", the widespread > opposition of the people, nothing mattered. > > Its language is brute force. The hammer of power is its history. > A trail of blood and violation is its business card. A long > chain of infamy marks its interventions, the murders and macabre > games of the CIA. The people of Latin America feel its effects > in their bodies: bullets and hunger. > > But this is not the exclusive of the US empire. It is the > everyday product of this system, applied, to be sure, in > agreement with multiple conditions. > > This system of privilege for the few depends on force and > violence alone. It hides its monstrosity under a robe - phantom > institutions, symbols to justify their existence, repressive > mechanisms that assure their control in the name of general > order. Today, its robe has fallen and we can see it clearly for > what it is. > > And the USA is the paradigmatic expression of the system, it is > hegemonic, it is the number one instigator of world neo-liberal > designs that have killed millions of human beings through > hunger. One which kills through misery and missiles. > > Do not be mistaken, it is a cold, calculated strategy - the US > empire wants more power; it wants to redraw the world to its > benefit, to discipline bodies for this stage of the system, to > be the first economic power. It also wants total political > protection for transnationals, and it wants the oil. For our > area it wants the FTAA. > > The disgusting cynicism of Bush is cruelly graphic of an > ideology of power. It cares nothing for any values and it > totally scorns the world's intelligence. Not even Orwell could > imagine such self-confidence - the murderous violence and fear > legitimizes everything. A lesson that history gives the lukewarm > and timorous, to those who ask permission to criticize, to those > who still believe that deep within this system there is place > for the poor of the world. > > This is a historic moment of brutal violence by those in power. > But there is also one historical constant - the people have > always responded, they have always resisted. > > With the people of Iraq in this tragic moment > > We totally repudiate the genocide perpetrated by the US empire > and its lackeys. > > Federación Anarquista Uruguaya >
