As we go to press, news of the US-British bombing of Iraq is breaking. The Weekly Worker editorial team resolutely condemns this latest manifestation of the imperialist New World Order, backed by all the British bourgeois parties - Labour, Tory and Liberal Democrat.
This attack has nothing whatsoever to do with “securing world peace”, let alone protecting the interests of the Iraqi masses. It is about imposing the will of US imperialism on leaders of ‘rogue states’, such as Saddam Hussein.
It is the task of the Iraqi proletariat and oppressed peoples, including the Kurds, to deal with their own dictator, supported by the world’s working class. For us in Britain the main enemy is at home - the New Labour imperialism of Tony Blair.
