IRELAND Women's Peace Camp Demands: U.S. Imperialism Stay Out of Ireland! A 24-hour women's peace camp has been initiated at Shannon airport in western Ireland. The camp is to protest use of the airport as a staging ground for U.S. troops being deployed to the Persian Gulf in preparation for U.S. war on Iraq. According to the organizers, they spent the first weekend of 2003 in a tent at the entrance to the base, and decided to establish a 24-hour camp after receiving "overwhelming support from the general public." The camp is emblazoned with numerous signs denouncing U.S. war plans and in support of the right of the Iraqi people to peace and sovereignty. Irish anger has also been aroused over the arrogance of the U.S. military in using aircraft of the country's national airline, Aer Lingus, with its distinctive coloring. The Irish Independent has also reported that the country's Green Party is considering the possibility of launching legal action to block the U.S. use of Shannon. Green Party leader Trevor Sargent said the action was unconstitutional and violated Ireland's traditional neutrality. --- Joshua "In the world through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself." -Frantz Fanon _______________________________________________ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international
