CADU's Position on Any UK/US Attack on Iraq

CADU strongly opposes any attack by either the US or the UK on Iraq, and demands that the UK government condemn US moves in this direction. This would be an act of unprovoked aggression clearly illegal under international law, as Iraq has in no way been linked to the September 11th attacks. Hundreds of thousands of people have already died as a result of the US and British-led embargo on Iraq, that has prevented essential food, medicine and cancer-detecting equipment from reaching the Iraqi population.

Iraq has suffered US bombing raids on a daily basis since the end of the last conflict in 1999, and any renewed full-scale attack would only add to the prolonged suffering of the innocent people in Iraq.

Please write to your MP and encourage them to sign up to Alice Mahon's Early Day Motion opposing military action against Iraq at this time. 140 MP's are already signed up - for a list, see the House of Commons website http://edm.ais.co.uk
