Expect Nothing and Prepare for the Worst (US Election)

Expect Nothing and Prepare for the Worst
by Malik Abu Bakr and Omar al-Hakim

As the results begin to be counted in the Elections for the next President of the United States, we should expect nothing and prepare for the worst.

Despite the eyes of the world being on Barack Obama, and the hopes of his victory, he will still command the allegiance of the Army and forces which currently occupy Iraq. In addition, he will still, like all American Presidents, be inclined to favour the Zionist Entity and oppress our brothers in Palestine. Despite calls for the US to retreat from Iraq, Obama has gone from a 1 year withdrawl plan to a 4 year one. Regardless of what boundaries it may break, Obama is not to be extended the trust of Arabs or Muslims, nor any of the progressive people of the world until the United States has completely retreated from Iraq, until the forces of reaction leave Somalia, until the UN stops pressuring and criminalising Sudan, until the Zionist entity is no more, until the United States allows for full and complete independance amongst nations in the America's and in Africa.

These are the basic obligations the US must fulfill in order to be accepted as ceasing its Imperialist, hegemonic ambitions. The US is not a friend, ally or even a neutral party until all of these are fulfilled, and it would be foolish to think that the next President, regardless of his origins, will be inclined to abandon Imperialism.
