| David Cameron is planning to recall parliament on Friday to push through a vote for the UK to join the US in bombing Iraq and possibly Syria. This comes in the same week that Tony Blair called for renewed bombing and the possibility of boots on the ground. All the experience of the terrible wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya has shown that western military action only serves to kill thousands of people, destroy infrastructure and inflame violence. Isis now in Syria and Iraq is in part a product of the disastrous occupation of Iraq by Western powers. Isis is funded by some of Britain’s main allies in the region, including Saudi Arabia. Cameron wants to use it to get a consensus for military intervention in the British Parliament to back the bombing of Syria that they rejected last year. Once again the US is violating the sovereignty of Iraq and Syria. The supply of Western military equipment and the funding for these armed groups must be stopped so that the people and countries of Middle East can resolve these conflicts themselves. Demand that Parliament reject Cameron’s plan for more war. |
