National Demonstration Saturday 20th March 2004

The Muslim Association of Britain will be jointly organising a national demonstration on the 20th of March 2004, along with Stop The War Coalition and CND, to commemorate the 1st anniversary of the war on Iraq.

There can be little doubt that over the past year, events and facts have proven the argument proposed by the Anti-War movement in Britain to be absolutely correct, and all the claims made by the Government and the warmongers to be false and untrue. Had the consequences not been so tragic and desperately inhumane, we would have been excused for gloating.

As a result, we have witnessed an unprecedented decline in public confidence in the Government and are hearing demands from all corners for a public enquiry to be set up to investigate all the circumstances that lead to the decision to take the country to war against a people whom now exist under unbearably unstable and insecure conditions. The Coalition forces' continued reminders that they managed to get rid of
Saddam Hussein, clearly serves as no more than a fig-leaf in light of the tragic circumstances.

The Palestinians whom, lest we forget, were promised by Tony Blair and George W. Bush a just resolution to their plight and a just state, as soon as the war on Iraq was over and Saddam Hussein was toppled, are nowhere near their life-long dream, and are now facing a new Israeli crime in the shape of a Wall which can only be seen as a further confirmation of the racist and Apartheid nature of the Israeli government.

In the midst of all this, the people of our country have stood tall and have spoken loudly and proudly for justice, freedom and humanity, and have defied all the synics who forecasted a decline of the people's movement following the fall of Baghdad.

The 20th of March will always be a date held in infamy.

I've spent most of this week in various levels of impotent rage and fury. I'm not sure why, I just have. Now, it sounds horrible to say and if you challenge me I will deny it, even if you printed out this very entry and waved it in front of my face shrieking "See! See! You wrote it here you stinking pair of grey fuckpants!", but after the Madrid bomb yesterday I feel a bit relieved. It's the relief of the storm destroying your house but at least your pressure headache has gone. Maybe it's just that the horror of what's happening in Spain has forced me to stop being so bogglingly self-obsessed for a minute.
