Iraq

for
the immediate withdrawal of all troops- The occupation of Iraq by US-led coalition forces has been a disaster.
- An estimated 100,000 Iraqis have been killed along with more than 2,300 US and 100 UK troops.
- The coalition-supported Iraq government has used torture against its opponents and US forces have used chemical weapons against civilians.
- Every Bush/Blair political initiative has failed and the country is descending into a violent, sectarian civil war.
- Billions in reconstruction aid have been squandered on 'security', big business profits and siphoned-off in bribes and corruption.
- Electricity, water and other essential services work only intermittently and are worse than before the March 2003 invasion. Oil production is below its pre-war levels.
