>      Who will stop George W. Bush and his unjust
>      war? This is the question that is being asked by
>      the Canadian people and the people of the
>      world. The U.N. was established after the
>      Second World War to create a mechanism by
>      which conflicts between countries can be
>      resolved. One of its founding premises was
>      that the use of force would only be used as a
>      last resort. Where is the U.N. today? Why is it
>      not playing its role to stop this war?
>
>      Evey day there is news that more and more
>      U.S. and British troops are being sent to the
>      Middle East, with more and more ships and
>      planes. Speech after speech is given by George
>      W. Bush that he wants "regime change", that
>      a war in Iraq is in the U.S. interest. One
>      country after the other is submitting to the
>      U.S. agenda, either being bribed or threatened;
>      some of the details are known, while other
>      details will come out later.
>
>      How will we stop the war? How can we
>      prevent Canada becoming part of this
>      aggression? The people of Hamilton are taking
>      measures to oppose the war. Demonstrations
>      have been held recently, on October 5 on
>      November 16, 2002. The students of Saltfleet
>      High School organized a demonstration to
>      oppose the war. Various teach-ins and forums
>      have been held. There are weekly vigils being
>      held at the corner of King and James, every
>      Wednesday evening from 5:OO to 6:OO p.m.
>      followed by a discussion.
>
>      As part of this movement against this unjust
>      war, various organizations including the
>      November 16 Coalition and CARMA (Citizens
>      Against Racism and Military Aggression) are
>      organizing another demonstration to oppose
>      Bush's unjust war. The demonstration will
>      start at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, January 17, 2003.
>      It will assemble at Beasley Park, located at the
>      corner of Catherine and Wilson Street. (Look
>      for the banners and flags.) There is an
>      interfaith service at the Hamilton Musallah at
>      2:00 p.m. after which the demonstration will
>      begin and march to City Hall. A forum will be
