Three years ago, a coalition guided by the U.S. government launched a war against Iraq. Today, the reasons to mobilize against war are more evident than ever.
On March 18, 2006, all of Europe will demonstrate, along with the U.S. and global anti-war movements:
for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all foreign troops from Iraq
against the concept of preemptive war, its extension to Syria, to Iran and the Middle East, for a peaceful solution to the Kurdish issue
for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine territories and East
Jerusalem, for the implementation of all international resolutions, for a just peace between Israel and Palestine, for the creation of an independent Palestine state
for disarmament, the reduction of military spending and the elimination of foreign military bases and weapons of mass destruction
for an alternative foreign policy, which rejects the neo-liberal model and works to build relationships between peoples
for respect of human rights, the defense of civil and democratic freedoms against repression, an end to torture, illegal detention and secret prisons
