Poll question: If we invade Iran, would you support a divestment campaign targeting PNAC |
|
Nations, such as U.S.A, U.K, and that one that begins with the letter I?
The divestment campaign would end upon our withdrawal from Iraq and Iran.

2. It would be a worldwide campaign encouraging divestment in the securities |
|
of the PNAC nations.
What would be required of you in a divestment campaign is that you sell your U.S. and U.K. securities, and urge others to do the same.
You may be thinking of a boycott, which can be part of a divestment campaign, but doesn't have to be.
A divestment campaign might be unpopular in the targeted nations, but would be hard to argue against in the rest of the world.

Very few poor people have stock in Halliburton.

4. Believe me, a divestment campaign hurts those at the top the most. |
|
If enough of the rest of the world dumps their U.S./U.K. stocks, bonds, and currency, it will hurt those in charge, just like it hurt those in charge of apartheid in South Africa, when they were targeted with a divestment campaign.
