the two terrorist organizations may indeed be deeply entwined
as one in their dangerous dance of death and destruction,
but their strength feeds upon peoples' fear.
if that fear can be turned into anger or disgust,
the mad dog will be corralled and put to sleep.

Take some hope in the fact that it didn't strengthen his hand in Madrid,
where the pro-Bush government was subsequently booted out from office.
Tends to make supporting "our" troops in Iraq and Afghanistan less palable,
no?

Nowar-Paix meeting Monday 11 July, 7PM
Simard Hall, Ottawa U.
Just as public opinion in the US was turning against George Bush's wars,
the terrorist attack on the London transportation system is likely to
strengthen his hand. In Canada, it will provide an opportunity to more
deeply push to integrate with US "security" industries by riding on our
natural sympathies with the people of London and our own fears that we
could be next.
NOWAR/PAIX was formed by a group of concerned Ottawa-area residents in
response to the horrific events of September 11, 2001 with a clear mandate:
* To oppose terrorism in all its forms, the U.S. call to war, and
Canada's participation therein.
* To oppose racism, including anti-semitism, and the racist backlash
against people of colour, including attacks on immigrant and refugee rights.
* To oppose the erosion of civil liberties in the name of national
security.
The network has worked since that time to advance the above goals by
organizing events and increasing public awareness so that Canada's
complicity in the US agenda will be brought to light and opposed.
WE ARE AT A CRITICAL POINT IN CANADA. Even before the London terrorism
attack, the government has moved toward greater integration on security and
in support of U.S. foreign policy against the wishes of the Canadian public.
HELP US GET THE MESSAGE OUT!
