Anti war march reminder

[Guest guest]

19 March - anti-war march in London.

 

This one will probably not only be for pulling troops out of Iraq, but also not invading Iran.

If we ‘move on’ from Iraq, so might Bush

THE INVASION of Afghanistan in 2001 was a special case and had to be supported, claimed “liberal” warmongers at the time.

Then came Iraq. So we were told this was another special case of a particularly odious regime with weapons of mass destruction to boot.

Now the US has put Iran at the top of its list of potential targets.

George Bush’s new secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, said last week that the US has no plans “at this time” to attack Iran.

But in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq two years ago she also denied the US government was intent on war.

The truth was, as the world now knows, that Bush was set on war with Iraq the minute he became president four years ago.

Now the liberal warmongers are trotting out similar arguments over Iran to those over Iraq. At the same time they are calling on people to “move on” from the last war and the ongoing occupation.

But it is the international anti-war movement and the popular resistance in Iraq to the occupation that stand in the way of Bush launching another war.

Far from “moving on”, the threats to Iran and other countries are reasons to ensure an even bigger turnout on next Tuesday’s anti-war day of action and on the demonstration on 19 March.
