A Call for all Australians to join in the National Weekend of action
against a war on Iraq : Nov. 30 - Dec. 1
We remain concerned that the United States government intends to attack
Iraq regardless of the results of UN weapons inspections.
An attack on Iraq will mean the death of hundreds of thousands of people
and will not contribute to peace or security in the Middle East and
throughout the world.
Our government is one of the few supporting and intending to participate
in the attack. Australia should not support this war - militarily or
politically.
We call on all Australians to join in peaceful protest this coming
weekend.
