World Against War Conference Over 1,200 delegates from the anti war movement accross the globe came to London for the World Against War International Peace Conference in London. The movement demanded: - An immediate end to the illegal military occupation of Iraq, which has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and displaced millions of people, a withdrawal of all foreign troops and the full transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqi people and their representatives. - A halt to all preparations for an attack against Iran, and a commitment to solve any issues through exclusively diplomatic means. - A withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan, allowing the Afghan people to determine their own future. - Justice for the Palestinian people, and an end to Israeli aggression throughout the Middle East. - An end to plans for US missile defence, and that all states actively pursue nuclear disarmament.
Suppose it was true that Iran is helping insurgents in Iraq. I mean, wasn't the United States helping insurgents when the Russians invaded Afghanistan? Did we think there was anything wrong with that? I mean, Iraq's a country that was invaded and is under military occupation. You can't have a serious discussion about whether someone else is interfering in it. The basic assumption underlying the discussion is that we own the world.
