news report
Tuesday January 28, 2003 02:19 by IMC Ireland
Much material being published on Indymedia Ireland at present focuses on the buildup to a war on Iraq, the Peace Camp at Shannon Airport and various forms of anti-war organising in the leadup to a national demonstration on 15th Febuary in Dublin. Anti-war meetings have been held or are planned at Galway, Limerick, Dublin, Dun Laoghaire, Maynooth and UCD while the anti-war film 'Paying the Price - Killing the Children' is being shown at Lahinch and Tuamgraney in Co. Clare. A Walk for Peace from Bunratty Castle to Shannon is also planned. Opposition to the war and to the use of Shannon airport by American forces is also growing among politicians as Labour, the Green Party, and Republican Sinn Fein have come out strongly against American use of Shannon. A Dail Private Members' Motion on on the use of Shannon Airport by US Military has also been tabled and unions have put forward their own anti-war motion from IWAM. Meanwhile a Muslim leader in transit to the US has been jailed in Shannon, and the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior has blockaded a UK military port. |

Tony Blair is still trying to get this war going. Saddam Hussein will still be around for a while yet even after this "war". He knows too much about those that have kept him in power for so long. A comfortable exile in Syria or Egypt or Saudi Arabia awaits him. Sharon, the mass murderer, is still enjoying the good life. Mubarek, the dictator who runs Egypt has been very quiet lately, hasn't he? "25 years in power?" Isn't it time somebody else was given a chance?
I keep hearing about the innocents butchered by the Americans.
What about the guilty? Any of them get offed too?
Just to let people know a meeting was held last thursday in Sligo, called by Labour, it was well attended, and there were guest speakers from the peace camp at Shannon. Also,the labour reps. present acknowledged the fact that there should be no divisions between those of different political hues at a time like this, and that it was time for solidarity between all those who oppose the war. If anyone wants more info about the Sligo anti-war movement, get in touch with Declan Brees' office, or email me.
