The Irish Government is deeply complicit with the crimes of the US in Iraq
and elsewhere because it has allowed over one million armed US troops and
many CIA rendition flights to use Shannon airport over the last five years.
It is vital we mark this anniversary with huge protests to show our
solidarity with the people of Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and Iran.
Crucially, we must support the majority of people in the US and Britain that
want their troops brought home. It is also vital that we, once again, demand
that the Irish government end its complicity with US warmongering and
restore Irish neutrality by excluding US troops and CIA torture flights from
our airports.
