Invasion of Iraq

Condemn the armed invasion of Iraq!

The Anglo-American aggressors must be punished for this crime!

Statement of the Central Committee of the Communist Ghadar Party of India, March 23, 2003

Defying world public opinion, violating international law and bypassing the United Nations, the Anglo-American imperialists have launched their brutal bombardment and armed invasion of Iraq. There is no justification for this naked imperialist act of aggression. The Communist Ghadar Party of India condemns this war as an international crime, a brutal and unjustified violation of the sovereignty of Iraq. The Indian working class and people must and will stand on the side of the people and nation of Iraq, in defence of their right to establish the political system of their choice in their own country, free from outside interference of any kind.

The international human community matured in the 20^th century on the basis of recognising the right of every nation and people, big or small, to determine their own destiny, their own state system and institutions of governance. It is on the basis of affirming this principle that the United Nations came into being, following the worldwide condemnation and defeat of Hitlerite fascism. According to the principle of sovereignty and the right to self-determination, the question of what kind of state and system of governance should exist in any country can and must be decided only by the people of that country, not by somebody else. This principle has been brutally violated by the US and British imperialists, who have openly declared that the aim of this war is to dethrone Saddam Hussein and achieve a ‘regime change’ in Iraq.

In typical Hitlerite fashion, the Anglo-American imperialists are repeating lies on a daily basis to make people accept them as the truth. While they have invaded and occupied Iraq with their troops, with the intent to enslave an independent country and people, they are calling it ‘operation Iraqi freedom’. While raining death and destruction with the most deadly weapons in their possession, they claim that their aim is to save the world from ‘weapons of mass destruction’.

In spite of their lying propaganda, the Anglo-American imperialists are unable to hide the fact that their real aim has nothing to do with the welfare of the Iraqi people. Nor does it have anything to do with security or with saving the world. Their real aim is territorial conquest, while everything else is a pretext. They want to gain control of the strategically important territory of Iraq, including its rich oil reserves, and strengthen the positions of US imperialism and its allies in west Asia. It is part of their strategy for the conquest of Asia and of establishing a unipolar world under US dictate.

US President Bush and British Prime Minister Blair claim that they represent a "coalition of the willing". It is a coalition of imperialist marauders who are willing to commit crimes in defiance of world public opinion. It is a coalition of those who want to trample in the mud all the recognised principles of international relations for the sake of their own narrow self-serving aims.

The anti-war demonstrations show that the peoples of the world are not willing to put up with such aggression and violation of national sovereignty. As a result of the growing strength of this anti-imperialist movement, several governments that were former allies of the US have come out in opposition to the war in Iraq. This shows the weakness of imperialism and the strength of the anti-imperialist forces on the world scale.

The Communist Ghadar Party of India condemns the use of force by the US and British imperialists against Iraq as unjust and criminal. The struggle of the people of Iraq to defend their nation from external aggression is entirely justified and enjoys the support of the people of India and all countries. The CGPI hails the struggle of the peoples against this war and demands that the Anglo-American aggressors must be punished for this crime!
