As Gordon Brown announces another 5,000 British troops are to be sent to Afghanistan, and Obama is expected to announce over 30,000 additional American troops, calls to bring the troops home seem to be falling on deaf ears.

In keeping with the kind of despicable rhetoric we’re used to hearing from NATO and its apologists, the NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will be delivering a lecture titled “The Future of Peace Support Operations”, tomorrow, Tuesday 17^th November at 2pm, Lecture Theatre 175, Old College, University of Edinburgh.

There is nothing peaceful about NATO’s operations – NATO is a murderous, imperialist force for imposing western-style capitalism on those who resist it. We must bring the war home to people like Rasmussen who get away with living lives of luxury on huge salaries at the expense of the lives and freedom of Afghans and all people affected by NATO forces.

No Platform for Murderers!
