"Howard and Beazley have the blood of innocent Iraqi civilians on

Clinton and British PM Tony Blair, by millions of people around
the world", said Mr Peter Boyle a national spokesperson for the
Democratic Socialist Party, today.
The DSP and the associated youth activist group, Resistance
(which organised this year's high school walkouts against
racism), are throwing their weight behind organising protests
against the bombing. They join with peace activists, left, Islamic,
Christian and Arab organisations and other progressive
individuals.
"Clinton faces impeachment for lying to his people but he should
be impeached and tried for the mass murder of more than a million
Iraqi civilians, including children."
"In Australia, the Coalition and the ALP leaders have once again
demonstrated their bi-partisan commitment to injustice", added Mr
Boyle.
