No more troops!
(c) Benjamin Solah 2005
Today me and about 20 other activists braved the rain, wind and cold to protest the deployment of more troops to Iraq. Although we seemed to be a very small minority, we actually represented the majority of Australians who don't want more troops in Iraq. Howard lied and told the public he would deploy no more troops. We weren't protesting against the troops, we were in the interest of the troops and their families. We were protesting against Howard's awful decision and we received support from alot of the Armed forces who came up to the fence to commend us.
