Afghanistan: troops out

Here's a leaflet handed out in Swansea last month, when we took a table into town with a petition calling for troops to be withdrawn from Afghanistan. A thousand people signed.

AFGHANISTAN: ANOTHER DEAD-END WAR!

The British death toll approaches 200, with about thirty-times as many Afghans killed by allied forces. For every death, several are disfigured or maimed…

The government says war will help stop terror attacks in this country. The truth is the opposite. Explosives and poisons can be made anywhere. The London bombers planned their action in revenge for British actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The more Afghans killed by US and UK troops, the more friends and relations join the Taliban.

You cant impose democracy or free other people’s women by force. The more you use, the more they cling to old ways (European Churches grew stronger under Stalin).

The war in Afghanistan is unwinnable, a cause of terror not the cure. Iraq and Afghanistan are dead-end wars. The real threats to our way of life are not from jihad but inequality, climate change and all-consuming, well-armed greed (aka Capital!).
