Our ‘willing coalition’ launches a pre-emptive strike against all of us

DESPITE the charade witnessed in the Dáil yesterday, Ireland officially supports the US-contrived war against Iraq, which was launched 24 hours ago.

Against the wishes of the overwhelming majority in this country, the “willing coalition” of Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats decided that Ireland would aid and abet a unilateral war campaign which is totally illegal.

Because our Government is comprised largely of spineless, unscrupulous and unprincipled people, parliamentary democracy in Ireland died an inglorious death yesterday.
