On 7th Anniv. of Iraq War, MCLI Joins Attacks on Continuing U.S. Wars
Every U.S. soldier, marine, and sailor, and every contract laborer doing the work of a soldier / sailor / marine today anywhere in the world is violating U.S. laws.
That is one of the lessons MCLI is constantly asked to teach as the U.S. has more than 700 bases in virtually every country in the world, and as the undeclared "wars" in Iraq and Afghanistan continue.
Congress has the power to declare war when asked to do so by the President. This has not happened in decades even though the U.S. helped draft a treaty that says explicitly: "No nation shall use force or threat of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any nation." U.N. Charter, Art. 2.4.
The U.S. helped draft the Charter and three other treaties that explicitly provide that "every human being has the right to human dignity." This most fundamental right is violated every day by the U.S.
And every day that the U.S. continues to possess nuclear weapons anywhere in the world -- every day the U.S. is violating Art. 2.4 and the right of people to live with human dignity.
