MARCH 20 - GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST THE WAR
Protests are taking place in more than 40 countries.

Noam Chomsky once said something along the lines that a huge demonstration is something that the power structure can deal with, what they can't deal with is when demonstrations don't stop happening, when the movement continues to grow.

I know it's hard for some to muster up the same enthusiasm today as a year ago. But it's even more important to keep on the streets today, Iraqi people urgently need our solidarity.

SO DON'T FORGET TO MARCH IN LONDON ON SATURDAY 20TH ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE INVASION OF IRAQ!

Would you prefer Saddam was still in charge ? Your anti-American views blind you
to the reality of a free Iraq. What fools you are

Your pro-American views blind you to the reality of regime change. The US has been practicing "regime change" all over the world post-WW2. It's never resulted in freedom and democracy for the people under the regime.

Saddam himself was brought to power by the US, when the CIA overthrew the nationalist Kassem government in a bloody coup, and installed the Baathists.

The Taliban were brought to power in Afghanistan by the US and Pakistani intelligence services.

The Shah of Iran was brought to power in Iran, in a CIA-backed coup against the nationalist Mossadegh govt.

Islam Karimov in Uzbekistan is a brutal dicator who boils his opponents alive, tortures and disappears large numbers of his own citizens. Yet the US funds him, and the Saudis, and many other brutal dicatorships around the world.

These dictatorships do as they're told, and keep the business ticking along. So did Saddam once, and so did the Taliban. Only when they stopped obeying orders did they become your enemies.
Now that Gadaffi has fallen back into line, he's off the hit list too. Do you see the pattern yet?

The choice you're offering of "Saddam or a US-backed regime" is a false one. There are many other alternatives, though none are to the liking of the US or Britain. The troops must come out, and the Iraqi people must decide for themselves what kind of govt they want.

Sammy the Sam refers to "a free Iraq".

Can I ask him why he thinks Iraqi's are 'free', when they are under illegal occupation by foreign powers?

Everyone should get on the streets on Sat, 20th March 2004 the first anniversary of this shameful war and tell Bliar we aren't going anywhere despite his sickening self righteous, messianic and almost evangelist defence of the war. That bloke is most definitely quite mad and dangerous.

Btw, Sammy where are the weapons of mass destruction, have you seen them lately?

Bliar's sanctimonious pro-preemptive war speech to save the world from "mortal danger" delivered like a church sermon to a safe audience in his constituency, was bordering on megalomania and total insanity.

They want to bring stability and peace to the Third World and oppressed peoples by bombing the crap out of them with high-tech space based weapons.

Government is the problem, it can never offer a solution.
