How many more are they planning to bomb?
Bush's advisers say Iraq is just a 'battle in the wider war'.
They have named North Korea, Iran, and even Syria, Cuba and Libya as
possible future targets. They call it a war without end. But millions of
people around the world are raising their voices in protest against this
illegal, unjust war.

What Nasra Al Sa'adoon, Iraqi author, told the NI about the attack on the
Twin Towers in 2001:

" These innocent civilians are the collateral damage - like the Iraqis in
the Ameriyah shelter and the victims of the almost disputes; Panama,
Vietnam, Grenada, Hiroshima. The price of conflicts is fire blood and human
life yet all of them, all of us, are just that precious human lives.
Can this be a turning point ?
A time to join hands?
A halt to carnage which has been going on since the crusades?
And let me say that here in Iraq, contrary to reports, we were not smiling.
We know loss and pain too well, we are not vengeful, but we were remembering
again what happened to us 10 years ago."

Plan Iraq: Ten Reasons Against War on Iraq.
1. There is no evidence that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.
2. There is no link between September 11 and Iraq.
3. This is not about 'Regime Change' - another Saddam would arise.
4. A war would trigger a humanitarian catastrophe.
5. A war would threaten the safety of the Kurdish people.
6. A war would be illegal.
7. A war would destabilize Iraq's neighbours.
8. Both the US and UK Military are wary of war.
9. The US and UK governments have no mandate to go to war.
10. It's the economy stupid - war could trigger a world recession.
