Subject: M-G: Mersey dockers oppose Iraq bombing


I'm forwarding a statement by the Liverpool dockers against the threatened
bombing of Iraq.

Cheers,

Hugh

Liverpool dockers call on fellow trade unionists to oppose the drive
towards a new war in the Gulf, being orchestrated by the US and British
governments despite widespread opposition in the Arab world and
internationally. Bombing Iraq will kill innocent civilians and increase the
risk of wider war while achieving nothing. We hold no brief for Saddam
Hussein. But we demand that the Labour government back off from this
unjustified slaughter.
