F15: One Year On: 10,000 Dead Iraqi Civilians: Shannon Still Facilitating US Military: War Ongoing:

category national | anti-war / imperialism | feature author Saturday February 14, 2004 19:55author by Indymedia Ireland Editorial Group - Indymedia Ireland Report this post to the editors

And It Seems That Bertie Ahern Was 'Against the War' All Along: So What Happens Next??

"It is great that so many people took the time to express their opposition to the proposed escalation of the killing of Iraqi people.

But I worry.

I worry that a large number of people will feel that they have "done their bit". They've done a hell of a lot more than the other people that didn't even bother to turn out for the march. They've expressed their opinion, the leaders should listen and do what the people want, shouldn't they?

I worry that if/when the assault on Iraq continues and the corrupt fools in government do nothing, then a lot of people will feel betrayed and will never vote for Bertie or other representatives again. Instead they'll vote for some other representative, someone "anti-war" from Fianna Fail, or Labour, or the Greens. Then when the next crisis comes they'll be betrayed again.

And again.

On the other hand, maybe most of those people were so pissed off with the government that they realise that they have to show the way and that appealing to or reasoning with or threatening any government is a waste of time and that they, the people that care and that are moral, will have to shut down Shannon to US troops.

That can be done."

I see from irishantiwar.org that the IAWM steering committee is meeting today on the anniversary of Feb. 15th 2003 to continue the internal war that is quickly destroying that organisation. Irony is surely dead.

I blame the SWP. One year on from those huge mobilisations and they have scuttled the demonstrations at Shannon - and pissed off virtually everybody with their control-freak behaviour. Honestly, how did they expect to get away with stuffing that national meeting on January 31st with bogus SWP reps from bogus IAWM Dublin branches? Spare us.

Elsewhere, the real anti war movement marches on. Mary Kelly is up in court on Tuesday. More power to her and her kind!
