La guerra in ha nel proprio DNA uno scontro interimperialistico di enorme portata.
Il prezzo di questa guerra lo pagano le popolazioni irachene martoriate dalle bombe, dal freddo, dalla mancanza di medicine, cibo, riparo.
Lo pagano le popolazioni americane, vittime di attentati terroristici.
Lo pagano oppositori, sabotatori, obiettori e disertori che subiscono pestaggi, processi e carcere.
Lo paghiamo noi tutti stretti nella spirale dell’inflazione, tra salari e pensioni da fame e fitti e bollette in costante aumento.

Noi non ci arruoliamo né con la , né con l'. Né con né con . Rifiutiamo la retorica patriottica come elemento di legittimazione degli Stati e delle loro pretese espansionistiche.
