LEAFLET HANDED OUT SUNDAY AUGUST 8TH

From Hiroshima to Fullija


This week marks the 59th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. A lifetime away. Even though the cold war is over and the
Berlin Wall has fallen, America has found a new enemy, terrorism. This
has provided the impetus for a new generation of nuclear weapons. This
week, the mayor of Hiroshima criticized such endeavors...

HIROSHIMA, Japan Aug. 6, 2004 — The mayor of Hiroshima marked the
anniversary of the world's first atomic bomb attack Friday by lashing
out at the United States for its pursuit of next-generation nuclear
weapons, and called on a global ban on all nuclear arms by 2020.
"Ignoring the United Nations and international law, the United States
has resumed research to make nuclear weapons smaller and more
'usable,'" he said at the 59th annual ceremony in the western city's
Peace Memorial Park. (Associated Press)

More importantly it has been no secret that the US was nuclear-ready in
the Iraqi war in 1991 and 2003. Visitors to Baghdad have remarked that
the city looks like it was hit by an A-bomb. The US has slowly
dismantled and destroyed life in Iraq. Today we remember those who died
in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and vow to continue fighting so that Iraq can be
free.
