NATIONAL IRISH DEMO AGAINST THE WAR!
aunty caapitalist | 26.11.2001 17:27
Hundreds of millions of people across the globe were horrified by events on September 11, TV beamed into our living rooms the horror and destruction caused by the attacks on the twin towers. Now millions more are horrified by something else.
George Bush is inflicting an even greater terror on one of the poorest nations in the world, where one in four babies die before the age of 4, where average life expectancy is a mere 47.
We are urged to relish a vengance costing the lives of people who had nothing to do with terrorist attacks. At home we have seen assaults on civil libertie and rascists targetting muslims. Th establishment claim that all this is justified because one man Bin Laden is living in Afghanistan, for this the blood of a whole population is been shed, a whole nation is suffering.
Even before this war 5 million people were on the brink of starvation after 22 years of war and civil war, reducing the capital Kabul to ruins.
Last week, Mary Harney the Irish Taniste accused the Irish antiwar movement of being "unamerican"-a blatant lie when some of the leading anti-war voices are american. US directer Michael Moore has asked
"Will we ever get to the point when we realise we will be morre secure when the rest of the world isnt living in poverty?"
Dick Cheney has said this war will be extended to 50 other countries. On top of that list is Iraq, a nation where 5000 kids die ever month as a direct result of UN sanctions forced through by the States.
Americans have taken to the street to demand no more violence is perpetuated in their name. In the UK 100,000opponents of Blairs support for this new "crusade" took part in a massive demo. In shannon last saturday hundreds descended on the air port to show their detest for Aherns unconstitutional descision to allow US bombers refuel there. 2,500 joined the last dublin demo against the war and were ignored by the media.
Bush has siad "you are with us or with the terroristS".
We have another option and that is to stand shoulder to shoulder for peace and justice. Join the demo and send a clear message to our Rulers. NO BOMBERS ON IRISH SOIL!!
