Troops Out NOW! Not War For Oil! 655,000 Iraqis Dead. Almost 3000 American Soldiers Dead. Over 125 British Soldiers Dead. The War Just Gets Worse. The vast majority of Iraqis want troops withdrawn IMMEDIATELY. 61% of Britains want troops out by end of year. 72% of US troops say war should end in 2006. 10,000 British Soldiers left the army last years, primarily because of Iraq. Britain is only there now because Tony Blair does not wish to embarras George Bush.
The US military has been engaged in countless unjust wars, Iraq is only the most recent/blatant example of this comtempt for soverign nations and international law.
