IRAQ: ONE YEAR ON

Talk by Dr Glen Rangwala, 8pm, Tuesday 20 April
Leckhampton House, Grange Road, Cambridge

With two months until the projected formal handover of power in Iraq
and amidst violence and political fragmentation, I will draw upon my
recent visits to Baghdad, Falluja, and Tikrit to discuss why
developments have not matched political leaders' expectations.

Are the on-going problems due to a failure of policy-makers since
April 2003, or were they inevitable? What paths might Iraq take in
the next few years? What does the Iraq war indicate about politics
and political decision making in the countries that launched the war?

People of Iraq must ask the British to support a NON-THEOCRATIC government!

This would solve many of the problems, and give the due assurance to the people of Iraq for a democratic future. Everybody is worried there and frightened of yet another dictatorship and this time one of Theocratic rules which is much more brutal than Saddam's regime!

It is about time the british politicians signed a deal with US and give their word that they will NOT SUPPORT A THEOCRATIC RULE IN IRAQ!

This is the ony way, yet we see both the US and specially the British keep bringing some Islamist extremists into the political scenes. And it angers the majority in Iraq who do not want these extremists in power!

time to listen to the real people of Iraq, to the Women of Iraq who do not want the islamic laws for their country and their children.
