Good Stuff

Always good to see people who defy the rain cold and coppa's ang go out there to make their voices against injustice heard.

Good stuff Nottingham

Not many of you now are there?

Before the Iraq war you lot could muster hundreds of thousands for your protests by conning people with lies that hundreds of thousands of casualties would result on both sides from the Iraq war. But after that war failed to turn into Vietnam II, the numbers at your anti-war protests have dropped off significantly.

Concerned


Iraq war purely for Western imperialist interests

16.01.2006 13:57

To "Concerned":

This was a local (as in, not national) protest organised in a small city by word of mouth, with only 2 days notice. That we managed to get around 100 people together at such short notice (and I know of others who would have liked to come but couldn't at such short notice) is not a bad effort in the slightest. If there were a national protest organised, we would still muster hundreds of thousands of people, and you'd better believe it.

Not least that this protest was only partly about the Iraq war, but also about the hypocrisy over trying to tell Iran what it can and can't do (while we continue to do whatever we like, building more nuclear weapons - hell, if I was an Iranian, I'd want my government to protect me from Western imperialism), and also about Blair's plans for more nuclear power, with only a pathetic commitment to investing in renewable energy (completely ignoring micro-generation: local wind turbines, small solar panels and so on).

Incidentally, the civilian body count in Iraq is currently between 28,048 and 31,636 people according to  http://www.iraqbodycount.org/

Can you even imagine 30,000 dead people, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of injured, and the millions who have lost friends or family in Bush and Blair's bloody war? I bet the Iraqis are really loving Western-style "democracy" (which incidentally, is a rather poor imitation of real democracy - the people have no say, and those who think they do are sorely deluded). Our "democracy" is an illusion.

You pro-war types are still conning people with the lies that you're pillaging, sorry I mean "liberating" other countries in the name of freedom and democracy, when it has clearly been demonstrated that this war was started over a lie (about non-existant weapons of mass destruction) and has always, and will always be about maintaining (or "enforcing", if you prefer) Western economic interests in the Middle East.

If you want to criticise the anti-war camp, at least do it with a shred of reality in your arguments.

Yes, wars in the past have been for noble causes, against fascism and so on. However, THIS war (the one we are protesting against) and these "leaders" (the ones with their fingers firmly in a lot of corporate pies) are not fighting a noble cause - they're asking the young people of our countries to lay down their lives and die, in order to make their fat-cat corporate friends richer.

Incidentally, being anti-war does not particularly make us "left" or "right" or anything in between - there are plenty of anti-war conservatives too, at least in the UK. Governments lie, all of them - the problem is politicians. That you can't see beyond the socialist / capitalist or left / right or liberal / conservative divide just goes to illustrate how little you understand the bigger picture of what this is all about: lying politicians causing wars in order to maintain their power and keep the people repressed.

No, you simply just don't have a clue.

Hmm... don't feed the trolls... oh well!
