As the US prepares again for carpet bombing in Iraq, we honor the children of Iraq who have suffered so unspeakably for so long. It was Clinton’s Secretary of State, the odious Madeline Albright who said in his stead that ‘the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was “worth it” to achieve US foreign policy goals’.
We don’t agree with these monstrous barbarians & with US foreign policy & pledge to oppose these wars by building the international antiwar movement.
US out of Iraq! US out of Syria! US out of Afghanistan!

Once again, while the Clintons celebrate their grandkid, we should honor the children of Afghanistan, many now refugees in Pakistan while US-NATO occupies & assails their country with thousands of drone sorties, destroying homes, schools, mosques, fields, hospitals, & terrorizes the population; denies democratic rights; has disabled & dismembered thousands with bombs & land mines. Both Clintons wholeheartedly support this barbaric war & have played important roles in negotiating continued US presence.

And while the Clintons are toasting the new kid, we should celebrate the lives of these Haitian children who survived the 2010 earthquake, with many left orphans. They’ll need our solidarity to oppose the sweatshop system both Clintons have established in Haiti & the tyranny imposed by the US-backed regime. Millions of dollars in donations for earthquake relief were simply stolen by the foundations the Clintons set up as a personal ATM machine.
Our fullest solidarity with the Haitian political movement to restore democracy & oust the corporate & military predators sponsored by the US under the direction of the Clintons.
So while the Clintons are celebrating their grandkid–who because of their immense crimes against humanity will lead a privileged life–we celebrate the lives of our kids. These are children in Gaza who just survived the murderous bombing siege based on Israeli policies negotiated & promoted by both Clintons. They won’t have privilege; we should render solidarity so they achieve justice.
