`Govt. must not get carried away by Bush speech'
By Our Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI, JAN. 31. The Communist Party of India (CPI) today took strong objection to the speech of the U.S. President, George W. Bush, outlining the American strategy to fight terrorism and urged the Vajpayee Government not get ``carried away'' by it.
In a statement here, the CPI central secretariat said Mr. Bush's address was ``one of belligerence and a desperate course to establish American hegemony in the world. For U.S. imperialism, the war against Afghanistan is just a beginning''.
The list of over 12 countries the U.S. had prepared to strike ``using the plea'' of fighting terrorism was an extension of its policy of war against sovereign nations. The U.S. has indicated that North Korea, Iran and Iraq would be its next targets.
``Mr. Bush has assumed the prerogative on his own to define the `axis of evil' and has become the spokesman for the so-called civilised world. Yet, he could not conceal the real intent. He has admitted that American economy is in recession and it should be overcome. To achieve this objective the U.S. needs more wars and aggressions against the developing nations. The American claim of fighting terrorism stands thoroughly exposed,'' the statement said.
The party warned against the U.S. threat of war against other countries and called upon the United Nations and all sovereign nations to protest against this ``war-mongering of the U.S. administration''.
