Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The Greens have been absolutely useless on the issue thusfar,a mere call for inspections if elected is so feeble and meaningless it beggars the point.
Good to see the call-out,but a mobilisation of the entire membership of these groups down to Shannon might be more frutiful in reality.
Doesnt LY claim to have over 1000 members--?If so,how is it that the turnout form these groups at anti-war actions is always dwaafed by much smaller left groups such as the revolutionary socialists and the anarchists..?
Words alone on Indymedia are a futile measure indeed.
Any news on Socialist Youth? And what about the Youth Wing of the SWP? (or is the whole party a youth wing?)
...both the SY and the SWp young punters have been active consistnetly on the issue and arent into this knind of press-release tactic..
Maybe the above political wings might like to re-think their statement.
We facilitated troops being in Iraq, we turn a blind eye to preventing torture when it is unlawful to do so with regard to rendition and we most certainly shipped arms on behalf of many parties.
I remember Cowen, when he was minister for foreign affairs, arguing about Ireland's strategic importance with regard to us facilitating the stopover at Shannon.
I remember Bertie parroting the WMD lie about Iraq, amongst others.
All essential ingredients are instrumental. If Ireland had not been part of the genocide effort, the picture would have been noticably different.
One cannot say that Ireland was not instrumental, it's akin to Ireland waiting for backward UN approval for the war in Iraq in order to backwardly and supposedly justify its complicity.
