Galway Alliance Against War Welcomes End of Warplanes for Salthill

 

GALWAY ALLIANCE AGAINST WAR (GAAW)
welcomes the news that there will be no warplanes disgracing  the skies over Galway this coming June. Presenting warplanes, that kill and terrorise people in other parts of the world, as a form of family entertainment in an airshow is nothing more than an obscenity. It condones the horrors these weapons of mass destruction committ.
The Galway peace group has campaigned for many years to end the militarised element of the event that was the Salthill "war"show. 
GAAW: “The organisers of the show have said they have been inundated with correspondence opposing the show. This does not surprise us, the household survey we had carried out in the Claddagh and Salthill districts last winter showed 47% of households opposed the militarised nature of the event. That number was bound to increase after the appearance of the “top guns" from the USAF Thunderbirds".
 The pro-Bush, bellicose statements of those killers were abhorrent to many people in this city who oppose war and treasure Irish neutrality.
GAAW continues in its to aim of working for peace and inclusion, to replace a world of war and divisiveness. To acheive that goal will be a cause for real celebration for all.
