The people rallying included many young women and children calling for peace not war. The protestors then marched to the Capitol building. The protest was called by the International Action Center, Pakistan USA Freedom Forum, United National Anti War Coalition, ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition and the Syrian American Forum. Secretary General of Pakistan USA Freedom Forum (Pakusaff) Mr. Shahid Comrade would like to thank everyone who came to Washington on September 9th to show their support – especially the Syrians. He also made clear to the press that we are only against the interference of any power or super power USA whose actions will disrupt the efforts in Syria and the region to bring peace in the WORLD. We also oppose the hypocrisy of Washington, which blames Iran for every ill in the Middle East, when it is USA that has used chemical weapons against the Iranians and gave them to Saddam Hussein of Iraq in the 1980's. Pakusaff is also appealing to the other two 'superpowers' – Russia and China – who have the kind of economic and political weight in the international arena to "draw a red line" against any military attack on the Syrian people. A hard and bitter lesson was learned by both countries when they abstained in the Security Council on the issue of Libya and saw the cruel nature of both NATO and the United States, which used the cover of "humanitarian right to protect" to bomb the Libyan society and make it fall into the hands of uncontrollable and chaotic warlords, as the suffering goes on. Thanks to the U.S., the old colonial powers (Italy, Britain and France) got the contracts for the Libyan peoples' oil and they are sharing in the booty while every social ill is visited upon the Libyan people. We expect the leaders of these other two Big Powers not to remain silent in the face of this new U.S. Western military threat. Furthermore, any kind of occupation (Kashmir by India, Palestine by Israel, Somalia, Haiti) will not be tolerated. All peace-loving countries and peoples must stand up now to stop Washington from carrying out yet another war and intervention. The Pakusaff Secretary General demanded that all countries, including the United States government, declare their secret chemical weapons and that the Western powers show the UN and the public their bills of sale for chemical weapons to anywhere. We all waited patiently for President Obama's Speech to the Nation on September 10, 2013 and it was our prayer and hope that he would heed the calls of the people and declare that the USA will not attack Syria, but our hearts were disappointed once again. President Obama did not say the USA would not attack Syria; instead he repeated the same old rhetoric of believing that the US is still the world's policeman and that if things don't go the way that satisfies the USA, then Syria is still under the guns of America. No, Mr. Obama, we the people declare that we will not accept another war, whether or not it is approved by the US Congress. We do not want the first black president to go against more than 70% of citizens who do not want any war. War is always a dirty game. The US has no right to attack a country that has not attacked us. That is the ONLY reason for a war – to defend oneself from an outside aggressor, and Syria is not threatening the United States. Pakistan USA Freedom Forum cannot ignore the pages from history books, which tell us that the USA is the only country that used the atom bomb against human beings in 1945 on Japan, that used napalm bombs against Vietnamese civilians, that deceived the world when late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein used chemical gas against Kurds during the Iran-Iraq war in 1988, of the CIA’s involvement in killing foreign head of states, of the USA and allies playing a direct or indirect role to overthrowing elected governments, not accepting people’s voting majority in Algeria, Chile, Cuba, Grenada, Nicaragua, Haiti, Iran, Honduras, Congo, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and now Syria. At home we are still fighting for medical aid for all, an equal salary for men and woman. The US has the largest number of people in jail. Wall Street CEOs are untouchable by any court, even though their blunders put the country on its knees. There only control is the Federal Reserve Board, which consist of old friends who know each other for the last 30 years. President Obama, we want to believe you when you talk about kids, women, family and the future, but it is very difficult when you deported 400,000 hard-working people in one year, beating all records. Millions of families have been separated over the last decades. Signing the National Defense Authorization Act is the worst moment for any law scholar, spying on all people and using intelligence to cover this up. You do not need to help those who always try to create war so they can introduced new kinds of weapons (F-22s, precision rockets to attack chemical buildings or facilities) and demand billions of dollars. Pakusaff is asking all diplomats with a conscience to find a resolution so that the Syrian people can talk and solve the conflict with the help of US peace lovers. More than a third of the population have become refugees and 100,000 have died in the last two years. In the last almost seven decades we are failed to solved the Palestinian question and even in Kashmir question we did not want to get involved when two Asian countries that now have the atom bomb, India Pakistan, fought three wars and Pakistan lost East Pakistan when the Indian army crossed Pakistan’s international border. Pakusaff believes that the coming UN General Assembly session on September 25, 2013 is the best moment to show the world that we stand for peace. We also urge the President to meet with Iran's new president, Mr. Hassan Rohani and begin a real dialogue and stop threats against Iran and Syria. It would be wonderful if an international body of peace activists could ask the two parties to sit down with those who love peace.
