DAY
OF PROTEST AGAINST NATO
Saturday
May 19th
Troops
out of Afghanistan,
Don't
Attack Iran,
No
intervention in the Middle East
The occupation of Afghanistan has passed crisis point. Afghan soldiers are turning their guns on NATO troops, negotiations with the Taliban have broken down and protests against occupation are continuing.
Meanwhile, further war in the Middle East is terrifyingly close. The debate about war on Iran in Israel is more about when rather than whether to attack. In the US there is also a sense of inevitability about war. Officials in the International Atomic Energy Agency say their leadership is being used by the US to justify war on Iran. The US is opposing direct intervention in Syria for the moment, but this can change and meanwhile Western allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar are arming the Free Syrian Army.
Stop the War is calling a day of protest on Saturday May 19th to coincide with big protests in Chicago against the NATO summit.
Details will be announced in the next few days.
