Declaration of the Free State of Boston

The government of the United States of America, having cast away its legal foundation, is hereby declared null and void. It being the right of all sovereign individuals to freely associate and form among them voluntary institutions for the benefit of their community, we hereby declare the Free State of Boston, an independent territory no longer governed by the former United States of America.

We call upon all free women and men to join in a declaration of independence. We appeal to all members of the antiwar community, as groups and individuals, to discuss among each other, our future as an independent state.

A particularly interesting variant of the Cork Idea, I hope you will agree, was the answer to the question of imperialism given by George Washington, one of the leading terrorists of his day. "The unanimous declaration of the thirteen United States of America" was published 4th July, 1776.

Reading it now, I wonder who may be the contemporary analogue of the tyrant King George III - George Bush or Saddam Hussein? And what about those men created equal - the people of the US, of Iraq, or of the world?
