Introduction
The U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq mark a new level of brazenness in Washington's defiance of world opinion. With it, media manipulation has surged, while the financial hurdles to dissident candidates remain daunting as ever. Every dimension of policy suffers an assault on democratic principles, as the unelected Bush administration, draping itself in the flag, tramples on decades of hard-won legislative gains in labor rights, environ- mental protection, civil rights, and civil liberties.

The Whiteness of the Assault on Iraq
From the beginning, the movement that tried to stop the assault on Iraq knew it was a racist war, just on the face of it. A white imperialism was Eurocentrically attacking a derogated people of color through the usual criminalizing generalizations: all Iraqis were attacked in the name of Saddam Hussein, all Arabs were attacked in the name of Iraq (and ultimately, all Islam was attacked through the denigration of Arabs).
