All
the signs are that the Anti-war Assembly in Trafalgar Square on
Saturday is going to be a memorable day. Grace
McCann,
will be there, the women who has come closest so far to carrying out
a citizen's arrest on Tony Blair.
Films,
visuals and audio will be an integral part of the day, and when the
Assembly ends at 4pm, we will march to Downing Street, led by
ex-soldiers and relatives from military families, with the demand
that the government bring the troops home now.
The
need to build the political pressure to make the politicians reflect
the majority view of public opinion that all the troops should be
withdrawn from a futile and unjustified war, was never more apparent
following the statement this week by the new US commander of the
occupation in Afghanistan, US General John Allen, who said: "We're
actually going to be here for a long time."
Which
is why this week, in Trafalgar Square in Britain, and on Freedom
Plaza, Washington DC, in the United States, there will be major
anti-war events on the tenth of anniversary of the start of the
Afghanistan war.
Please
do all you can in these last few days to help publicise the Anti-war
Assembly as widely as possible and encourage everyone you know to
join us. Users of social networks please spread the word, share and
tweet as much as you can.
