Excerpts from the Preface

As Nelson Mandela has so aptly pointed out, “if there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.”

While the US is pushing all-out aggression against Iraq and other countries, it is high time for the people of the world to condemn US aggressive schemes disguised as “war on terror” against national liberation movements and revolutionary leaders in the Philippines, Colombia, Nepal, India, Turkey and other countries.

Through this book, we are calling attention to the unjust and malicious acts of the US, Philippine, Dutch, Canadian, British and Australian governments and the European Council in designating as “terrorist” the Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People’s Army and the NDFP Chief Political Consultant Prof. Jose Maria Sison.
