STOP THE BLOODY WAR(S)

As I've seen no photos of the recent protest in Bristol City centre to mark the 4th anniversary of th UKs invasion of Iraq I thought I'd publish one for the record.
This protest went on to develop into a march that ended up outside the BBC offices on Whiteladies Road which is coincidentally opposite Bristol's Territorial(!!!) Army barracks.

Tony Blair - War Criminal!
Tony Blair - War Criminal!

Recentally a peace protestor down at the city centre was approached by an army officer. The soldier in question appeared a little confused by the placard that was being held up for all to see. It read -
'Remember the innocent dead of Iraq'
How are they innocent the officer demanded to know!
The fact that over a million Iraqi civilians have been murdered since the UK's involvement in the illegal occupation of the country seems to of gone unheeded by the officer who was clearly suffering from some form of post traumatic stress disorder. I fail to see how any infant blown to pieces cannot be classed as an innocent victim.
Indeed one mother interviewed on the radio recently told how one single change would improve her families live incredibly. And the change was? - To have the dead bodies removed from the street before she had to take her children to school each morning!
