From tyranny to democracy?

Grant White | 15-04-2004 10:32 | Anti-militarism | Sheffield

Since 9th April 2003 some 5383 people have been killed in Iraq, including 1200 people alone in Fallujaha over the last week.586 coalition troops have also been killed leaving many embitted back home.But is this the reaction Mr Blair and Mr Bush expected from the liberated people of Iraq? But of cause the perpetrators of these killings, if we are to believe Blair and Bush, are terrorists from outside of Iraq taking advantage of the situation.However neither leader can explain that out of the 8500 people detained only 150 of them are actually none Iraqi.

The truth of what's happening in Falluja has to get out.

Jo Wilding, April 11th, Falluja

Trucks, oil tankers, tanks are burning on the highway east to Falluja.
A stream of boys and men goes to and from a lorry that's not burnt,
stripping it bare. We turn onto the back roads through Abu Ghraib, Nuha
and Ahrar singing in Arabic, past the vehicles full of people and a few
possessions, heading the other way, past the improvised refreshment
posts along the way where boys throw food through the windows into the bus
for us and for the people inside still inside Falluja.
