STOKING THE FIRES FOR MORE WAR
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD - STOP THE SPREAD OF WAR
DEMONSTRATE AT THE LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE
SATURDAY 20 SEPTEMBER: ASSEMBLE 12.30PM
ALL SAINTS, MANCHESTER M15
Events in Georgia have raised the terrifying prospect of big
power confrontation between the US and Russia. NATO
expansion was the prime cause of the crisis in the first
place, disgracefully, the British Government’s response has
stoked up more tension.
David Miliband’s trip to the Ukraine, aimed at building an
alliance to contain Russia, was obviously going to be highly
provocative. As the Guardian recently argued, the
frightening thing is that NATO and Russia are on a collision
course over the Caucasus.
Our government’s response to the crisis in Georgia and
Gordon Brown’s recent announcement of 4,000 extra troops for
Afghanistan, confirms the policy of continuing subservience
to Washington.
In these circumstances the demonstration to the Labour Party
Conference on September 20 — called by Stop the War, CND
and the British Muslim Initiative — takes on a new
significance.
Stop the War Coalition is asking all our supporters to come
to Manchester to make sure that the Labour Party understands
that the overwhelming majority in this country believes that
Labour should break with the disastrous war policies of the
Bush years and withdraw all British support, whether it be
in Iraq, Afghanistan or any other threatened region.
