If this is victory, what would defeat look like?
Three months after the war in Iraq, the US has admitted its soldiers are embroiled in a full guerrilla war. The Iraqi people are subjected to a colonial military occupation. Despite the billions being spent on the war and occupation, the Iraqis are suffering shortages of water and electricity, and face total disruption to their everyday rights. After years of dictatorship, they are denied any democratic voice or say in the running of their country.
Contrary to everything that Bush and Blair told us, the Iraqis did not welcome the military forces as liberators and every day there are demonstrations in Iraq asking them to leave.
Wot, no WMDs?
Everything that the anti-war movement said about this war has proved to be true. We were told that the war was to disarm Saddam Hussein, but no weapons of mass destruction have been found. Evidence that Iraq bought uranium from the African state of Niger has been shown to be forged. Tony Blair is continuing to claim that British intelligence had such evidence, but even the CIA has denied this.
Despite talk of the ‘special relationship’ between Britain and the US, George Bush clearly doesn’t care enough to even release the prisoners from Guantanamo Bay.
Our movement nearly stopped the war, with millions taking to the streets. Now we have to redouble our efforts to bring the government to account and to immediately end the occupation of Iraq.
The Stop the War Coalition, along with CND and the Muslim Association of Britain, is therefore calling a demonstration on 27 September in London. Help make it a huge protest which Tony Blair cannot ignore.
