letters of gratitude from Iraq's Freedom Congress

A letter of Appreciation from the Central Council of Iraq Freedom
Congress TO US Labor Against the War (USLAW)

Brother Michael Eisenscher, National Coordinator of USLAW
Brothers of USLAW Steering Committee
All members of USLAW

Greetings from Baghdad...

From IFC Central Council's sixth meeting we send our greetings and at
the same time we express our deepest appreciation for your support to
IFC and the entire libertarian movement. Your continuing support to IFC
will advance our movement to end the occupation, expulse ethnic and
sectarian gangs and build a secular non-ethnic government that defines
people in Iraq on the basis of humanity. We believe that our common
struggle for a better world is the only way to achieve security and
peace in Iraq and in the United States of America.

Our continuing effort is to strengthen ties between Iraqi and US people.

Our satellite TV (Sana) played a significant role towards this direction
and showed the viewers in Iraq and the region that there is a
humanitarian front in the United States who supports Iraqis cause and
struggle and works to put the US Administration under pressure to
withdraw its troops from Iraq. Broadcasting "Meeting Face to Face" was
one of the means to show the extent of solidarity between Iraqi and US
workers who denounce and reject war. In fact this film enlightened the
Iraqis of the existence of a third movement in the society that is not
sectarian or ethnocentric

We in Iraq Freedom Congress believe that the libertarian movement
represented by labor, women, youth and students movements are the only
ones who are able to form the humanitarian identity in Iraq. We were
able to bring the workers together and unite them against the draft Oil
Law by forming the Anti Oil Law Front. The workers are the ones who
fought for this abhorrent draft and we were able to force the government
and the National Assembly to back down from passing it till this very
moment.

Also by raising the slogan "No Shiite ... .. No Sunni, humanity is our
identity" we were able to block all efforts that aimed to allow planting
a wedge between workers to kill each others. At IFC first convention,
which was held forty days ago and was attended by delegates from various
cities such as Baghdad, Basra, Kut, Nasirya, Kirkuk, Mosul, Hilla,
Diwanya and Ramadi we proved that sectarian and ethnic identity is
nothing but false identity that was imposed by the sectarian and ethnic
factions to divide power and wealth among themselves. In fact, these
divisions are imposed by the occupation forces on Iraqi society through
its inhumane policy. Killing a human, whether in Iraq, in the United
States or anywhere else in the world is a heinous and unforgivable
crime. Ending the occupation through the withdrawal of all forces would
pave the way to turn the page of human killing, whether in American
uniform or innocent Iraqi once and for all...

The victory you have achieved in defeating the Republican Party in the
mid-term elections in November 2006 was a victory for us in Iraq. We are
certain that defeating the occupation projects such as the oil Law and
sectarian divisions are victories for our front in the US... Therefore
struggling together will lead us to defeat Bush, Dick Cheney, Rice and
all other killing supporters.

Once again thank you and our appreciation to your efforts.

Long live US Labor Against the War
Long live international solidarity

A letter from IFC Central Council to Sato Kazuyoshi, President of the
Movement for Democratic Socialism in Japan.

Brother and comrade Sato Kazuyoshi,
Greetings ...

The role you played in having Sana TV continue broadcasting by providing
all sorts of support such as financial support, is a place of
appreciation to the farthest extent. It shows your deep understanding of
the responsibility that you hold for our movement in Iraq. The
individuals have a great role in making history and you were able to
fulfill this role with Iraq Freedom Congress. Our common vision towards
the political situations in Iraq is one of the strongest points of our
movement. We are proud of your confidence in our movement victory. We
pledge that our movement has no choice but to win. Linking your fate
with ours demands us to carry a huge responsibility towards human victory.

Leader such as you in our ranks is a guarantee for our progress and
defeat the enemies of humanity.

Once again we express our appreciation for the efforts that you spent
for our movement.
