March 18, demonstrate to stop the war

Reasons to demonstrate

Iraq is suffering - the occupation has cost more than 100,000 lives with no end in sight.
Iraqis want our troops to go.
British troops are dying in Blair's war - nearly 100 so far, with hundreds more badly injured.
The US and Britain are plotting new aggression - against Iran above all. The war could spread and it could become a nuclear war.
We were lied to about the attack on Iraq - it is time Blair was held to account for his decisions, which have undermined democracy.
Blair's foreign policy is making Britain a terror target, as the atrocities of July 7 last year proved.
Freedom is under threat - civil liberties are being torn up by the government because of the so-called "war on terror".
British Muslims are under threat. We must stand together to protect communities being targeted by Islamophobic racists.
Billions are being wasted on the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan which could be used for pensions and public services in Britain.
March 18 is an international day of action against the occupation. Protests are already planned across the world, including in Iraq.
The world will be watching - let's show friend and foe alike that the British people are opposed to the Iraq occupation and the threats to world peace and our freedom.
