UFP draft UN resolution on Iraq
This draft resolution of May 1 expresses the legitimate goals of the peoples and countries of the world regarding the world. It is unfortunate that nothing like it has been tabled at the UN and that there has not even been any discussion or publicity for it. There is of course no chance of such a motion surviving a veto by the US, but that is not the point. To make the statement, force the US to defend itself, mobilise public support for what is right, that is the point. It is apparent however that while France in particular as well as Germany and Russia showed courage in opposing unjustifiable US actions before the war, there is no such courage after the war.
