Re: Oil War Resistance
Oct 17, 2002, 11:07
Blockading the oil depots is designed to scupper our society Jim, I can't deny that. I think our society needs scuppering if its going to wage an illegal war for profit. I know it is an extreme action, but it is the lesser of two evils.

I never supported the last blockade for the same reasons as you. However, noone died from its consequences and government policy was changed.

I agree with your suggestions for lifestyle change as the only long term strategy, but the war will not be delayed by that. If the parliamentary process fails, if public opinion is ignored then and the invasion is launched then an oil blockade is the best option for peace, imo that is ethical justification.
