About the June the 4th demo:

History is repeating itself. The US, UK and Israel are beating the drums of war, stoking the fire with talk of weapons of mass destruction, and crippling sanctions threaten a powerless population - yet intelligence shows no evidence Iran is close to producing a nuclear bomb. Even the ex-head of Israeli intelligence argues military action would be 'a stupid idea' and could ignite a regional war across the Middle East.

The invasion of Iraq was motivated by a desire to control it's oil, so the hostility towards Iran is of little surprise considering it has the world's fourth largest known oil reserves. The country also refuses to be a US puppet.

Barack Obama, swept to power espousing his opposition to the invasion of Iraq, has since approved the largest US defense budget in history. In the UK, David Cameron backs covert war in Somalia. As the death of innocent people across the world is reduced to a turn-of-phrase, reported as mere numbers in the unfortune byproduct of 'collateral damage', the arms industry continues to profit from the destruction.

Whilst the press claim that, in hindsight, they should have been more critical of politicians in the run-up to the Iraq war, probing questions are abscent as we head towards conflict with Iran. Those who claim responsibility for holding the powerful to account are incapacitated by their need to keep on good terms with the state - it is time for us to act.
