Socialist Review - Issue 15
The anti-war movement didn’t oppose the war on Iraq because we thought the US would lose. Neither did we expect the protest movement to somehow “convince” Bush, Blair and Howard not to go to war. And the reasons for opposing the war didn’t change once it had started. In fact, every reason for standing up against the war has been proven correct by the US victory – from the fact that there are still no signs of “weapons of mass destruction,” to the growing Iraqi resistance to the US occupation. |
