Thanks to everyone who has participated in our Iraq campaign. We have now raised over 10,000 US dollars, which enabled us to run our advertisement urging the US Congress to block the escalation of troops in Iraq. The ad ran on page 19 of the 17 January 2007 edition of Roll Call, a Washington D.C.-based newspaper that is distributed to the White House, the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.

The US and other countries should never started this adventure in the first place.
Countless lives have lost including young Americans for a 'cause' that was based on complete lies.
The governments of these countries should now start where they should have started years ago - working with imagination, intelligence and genuine interest in getting down to dealing with the real issues that divide us.

Every country which supported the war is as much guilty ... We, overhere in The Netherlands are guilty too not only for supporting the war in Iraq but also in former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Africa, Israel and Palestine.....
We currently have a change in politics here and
probably our country is gonna redraw their soldiers from Iraq...
Me, my site and the readers who come from all over the world are supporting this initiative..!
Keep up the good work guys !
you are all blessed...

100,000 people marched against the war in Iraq alone in little old Adelaide--population about 700,000 and what were we told? Our leaders do not take notice of the rabble. Well the rabble were right! President Bush and Prime MInister Howard should be charged with war crimes.

stopwar.org.uk is organising a march in London on 24 Feb. Perhaps you can hook up with them and have a virtual march in London.
I am so grateful for what you are doing. There are many people who are extremely concerned about this illegal war, the Middle East and the world as a whole but feel helpless. However, the truth is that the people have the power and we need to get it back. We just need to stand together and you are showing us how to do that. Bush and Blair are war criminals. Thank you so much.
