STOP THE WAR CAMPAIGN

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the continued hard work of those dedicated to stopping all wars from within and without parliament via their efforts toward reversing the aggressive international policies initiated by the United States of America with British support and in particular to promote the demand to bring UK troops home from Iraq, as urged by many of the families of soldiers who have died in this unnecessary conflict; notes that on 18th March, the third anniversary of the attack on Iraq, another large anti-war demonstration organised by the Stop the War Coalition and supported by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Muslim Association of Britain will take place in London while similar protests will take place on the streets of major cities thoughout the world, including Baghdad and Basra, in protest at the crisis in Iraq which is now on the verge of a civil war; calls for support for these protests; and further expresses grave concern at the plans to deploy thousands of British troops to Afghanistan in 2006 in support of another US-led occupation facing increasing resistance.
