1. Anti-war demo 7th December
The Irish Anti-War Movement has called a major demonstration on 7th
December 2pm at the Central Bank, Dublin.
It would appear that the Irish government is determined to join in the
war effort and not be left on the sidelines. The Minister for Foreign
Affairs, Mr Cowen, made a statement yesterday that the UN Security
Council would have no other option but to endorse an American-led
military assault on Iraq if the council found that Baghdad was in
material breach of the UN resolution on disarmament,
“It is Ireland's consistent foreign policy position that we seek to
resolve matters without resort to military action, however, such action
is provided under the charter as a matter of last resort, and the threat
of military action is something which has been part of the necessary
approach to a regime which has been in defiance of the international
community for years".
The Iraqi Foreign Minister Mr Naji Sabri has sent a letter to the UN
complaining that the real motive for the resolution "was to create
pretexts to attack Iraq under an international cover". Baghdad has until
December 8th to make a full declaration of its armaments.
In this climate it is absolutely imperative that Irish people stand up
and let the government know that we strongly object to Ireland’s
involvement in this conspiracy.
