Why are we still protesting the war?
The War with Iraq. Two questions: Why are we still demonstrating? and Why are we still protesting against the war? (in whatever form that takes)
This is an idea for discussion that came out of a local UK Stop the War Coalition meeting on Monday 7th April 2003. An attempt to give concise and coherent form to the many and varied reasons we have for continuing our stand against the Iraq war. Or not as the case may be.
I realise many of these issues have been raised/stated elsewhere but I see this as a good place to bring them all together.

The ends fail to justify the means... right?
It seems that even those concerned are a bit jittery about opposing the War in Iraq based on events as we know them thus far. I feel we must do just that.

Our little Bush is an evangelist on a mission from God. Strange that real life is even more predictable than fiction.

POLICE ACTION on protests:
With a wave of growing social consciousness being expressed around the world the hallmarks of a "police State" seem to be more and more evident. Or have I been living in the bay area too long???
Thoughts?

'Army of Occupation' Can Not 'Liberate'
People are supposed to 'liberate' themselves, not rnd and fight a proxy war for them. It is stupid if anyone tries to do so or claim so, give freedom to Iraqis.
