Eighth Anniversary of 9/11

Our Security Lies in our Fight for the Rights of All!

On the occasion of the 8th anniversary of 9/11, TML expresses its deepest sympathies for the relatives of those who lost their lives eight years ago as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11. We remember the millions who have been killed in the so-called "war on terror" unleashed by the administration of George W. Bush, with the help of the government of Canada and other "allies" and express our deepest sympathies to their families and peoples.

On this occasion, we also express our deepest sympathies to the families of all those killed and disappeared in the infamous coup which took place in Chile on September 11, 1973, and to the Chilean people. Thirty six years later the U.S. continues to organize and back violent coups d'etat as it did recently in Honduras.

This is the first anniversary of 9/11 when George Bush is not President. But the promises to end the impunity carried out under the aegis of the "war on terror" have been shown to be hollow. Far from it, the war against the people of Afghanistan has been escalated targetting also Pakistan, with continued justifications for indefinite detention, renditions, torture, etc.

In Canada, the government continues to violate long held precepts of international law as in its refusal to bring Omar Khadr home and its continued use of security certificates, secret evidence and reliance on methods such as torture.

On this 8th anniversary of 9/11, TML salutes the working and oppressed peoples of all countries whose resistance and concrete actions are building a pro-social anti-war reality as they strive to affirm their dignity and rights. We send our revolutionary greetings to all who are resisting brutal interference and aggression, direct or indirect, of U.S. imperialism and its allies such as Canada, for their right to be and to forge their own path, independent of foreign tutelage. We condemn the refusal of the Canadian government to uphold the rule of law and its arrogant and dangerous claim that it stands above the law. We call on Canadians to take up the work for democratic renewal to establish an anti-war government.
