Marzieh Mortazi Langroudi, a leading member of the Iranian group Mothers Against War,
Ibrahim Mousawi, editor of Hezbollah's newspaper in Lebanon
Karamat Ali, from the Pakistan Institute of Labour, Education and Research.

They join many other prominent peace campaigners -- from the Middle East, Asia, the USA and around the world -- who will speak at the conference and lead discussions on:
* The current situation in Iraq
* The occupation in Afghanistan
* The threats against Iran
* US aggression from Eastern Europe to Latin America.

Among the speakers at the conference are Dennis Halliday and Hans Von Sponeck, former United Nations representatives in Iraq, Hassan Jumaa, President of the Basra Oil Workers Union, Jawad Al Khalassi, General Secretary Iraq Foundation Congress, Hannah Ibrahim from Women's Will Iraq, Ivona Novomestská, Czech No Bases Campaign, Brigitte Ostmeyer from the new German Left party, Eqyptian MP Hamdeen Sabahy, Tony Benn and Lindsey German from Stop the War Coalition, Mark Thomas, campaigning comedian, George Galloway MP, Craig Murray, ex-British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Iraqi exile Sami Ramadani, representatives from United for Peace and Justice (USA), Communist Party of LebanonVenezuela's UNT union confederation.

George Bush has asked US Congress to add 196 billion dollars as a supplementto the 450 billion dollars he has already got for war spending in 2008. He calls the supplemental spending the "Global War on Terror Request" and it includes plans for a new bunker busting bomb which could be geared toward bombing underground targets in Iran.

And Britain's prime minister Gordon Brown has now repeatedly stated his support for Bush's horrifying plans for endless global war, based on what Brown calls "our shared values and our shared destiny".The conference is open to all - whether delegates from political organisations, trade unions, community groups and campaigns, or from individuals.

This international peace conference will bring together peace campaigners from across the world and which will be of paramount importance in helping to devise theantiwar movement's strategy for building international opposition to the intensifying warmongering of George Bush and his allies.

GALWAY ALLIANCE AGAINST WAR  is to make an official presentation to Galway City Council s Corporate Policy Group on the 10th December outlining why we are against the Salthill Air Show receiving Council funding as long as warplanes, helicopter gunships and active combatants are part of the event.

The Galway peace group s spokesperson Niall Farrell says GAAW is looking forward to the opportunity to speak face to face with the councillors: We want to have a genuine engagement with the city councillors and explain how the presence of warplanes and the fighter pilots who fly them sanitises and glorifies war. We know there are strong views on both sides, but the only way this issue can be resolved is by sitting down and calmly discussing it. It is clear that there is growing disenchantment from all walks of life in the city and county with the growing militaristic nature of the air show.

Combined with that there are the serious safety concerns, plus the negative environmental impact of the show with its huge carbon emissions and dreadful noise pollution. A solution needs to be found.
