Call for Sanctions against the World's Largest Rogue State

The United States of America (hereinafter called America, the US or the USA) has, on many well-documented occasions, committed large numbers of war crimes and crimes against humanity. It has violated international law many times and defied numerous UN resolutions. It manufactures unprecedented quantities of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, as well as sophisticated technology for delivering them anywhere in the world. Its policies endanger the continued peace, well being and indeed the very lives of millions of people all over the world, including many living - or trying to live - within its own borders.

For all these reasons, The USA has become by every reasonable definition of the term a rogue state - see for example the numerous links at "Rogue State", http://homepage.mac.com/ardeshir/RogueState.html - and should be treated accordingly by the world community.

We, the people of the world, therefore demand, in the interests of world peace, that all the nations of the world should:

-- immediately cut off all contacts with the USA, whether in the military, economic, and/or so-called 'humanitarian' spheres;

-- impose a total trade embargo on the US, including a ban on all transfers of funds to and from the USA;

-- freeze all American accounts abroad;

-- sever all diplomatic relations;

-- cut off all air and sea links;

-- cut off all cultural, academic, and scientific exchanges;

-- and immediately arrest and bring to trial any US citizens travelling abroad who have a record of, or against whom there is "probable cause" to suspect, these US citizens having committed war crimes or crimes against humanity.

In addition,

We call upon the United Nations General Assembly to inform the US government that any use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, whether strategic or tactical, will be met by an overwhelming response in kind.

We also call upon the United Nations to form a coalition including European, South American, East and South Asian, and Muslim states, to contain the USA along the lines of the coalition formed during the 1991 Gulf War to contain Iraq.

And lastly, we call upon all decent and moral American citizens to do everything in their power to overthrow their criminal, tyrannical and mendacious government, and thereby to bring about a "regime change" in their country so as to allow the USA to take its place as a legitimate and peace-loving member of the community of nations.
