British corporations finally get to bid for their slice of the great
Iraqi privatisation carve-up. 13-years of a genocidal sanctions regime
which banned all imports and exports from the country, including
essential parts for repairing infrastructure such as the electricity
system and water purification plants plus medicines, and sealing in the
fate of over 25 million people, over a million and a half of whom died,
most of them children, from preventable causes asa a result of the
embargo. The systematic wrecking of the Iraqi economy has primed it
perfect for a free market take-over and multinational privatisation
bonanza. Whilst the massacres continue all over Iraq, in particular in
Falluja, still reeling and grieving from its 600+ dead, the architects of
the occupation, their representatives and profiteers are meeting here in
the UK to discuss profit stakes and capital, money and power, whilst
ordinary Iraqi people are dying and slaving away for next to nothing and
live in the same poverty and state of terror from both the Occupation
and the un-elected stooges and the neo-Baathi managerial class it has
re-imposed on Iraqi workers.


We want Freedom, Self Determination and Justice for the Iraqi people.
Let's meet the buyers and let them know that their agenda serves nothing
but more bloodshed, misery, war and exploitation.
