Life was terrible under Sadam / Taliban, therefore having the country reduced to rubble by an occupying army, with millions dying in the process, must be better? As if to say the only way repressive regimes can be overcome is for a foreign military force to blow the country to smithereens, build permenant bases, remodel the economy to suit their own interests and give lucrative contracts to favoured corporations? By the way, since you're getting all proleier than thou, I'm fully supporting this campaign and live in a freezing terraced house with barely a fluffy animal in sight! You must be joking?

There have been a lot more people dying over the past 6-8 years than before we 'liberated' them. Besides, the Taliban and Saddam didn't appear out of nowhere, they came out of a history of decades of Western intervention. Also, I think you'll find that they will be going after the big arms companies too. I have to say: have you tried living in Iraq or Afghanistan under British and American occupation?

The Target Brimar group would be better off finding their way to the munitions firms, those are what kill, nothing else.

It's really important that a strong, well-networked anti-militarist movement builds here in the UK. It is, after all, one of the top arms exporters in the world stoking the flames of war everywhere.
