I support Muqtada As Sadr's position on the SOFA. Coalition forces need to leave Iraq without delay. The longer they stay the more harm they do.


Reports of demonstrations here

Imperialists have always used the threat that their withdrawal will result in bloodshed. This is what kept British troops in Ulster for decades. No government elected under occupation can claim legitimacy.

Withdrawal can surely be achieved without helicopter rooftop evacuations from the Green Zone.

The Iraqi administration that emerges after the complete withdrawal of occupying forces should promptly begin proceedings to demand reparations from the US & Britain for the loss of life, destruction of physical infrastructure, & economic hardship suffered by the Iraqi population as a result the invasion.

Those primarily responsible for the aggression, G.W Bush, Tony Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeldt, Hoon, & others, should be brought before an international court of justice & charged with war crimes. Charges relating to the deliberate targeting & murder of civilians by occupying Coalition Forces, abuse of Human Rights & the use of torture, could also be pursued.

Since the cost of reparations to Iraq would push the US economy under the ice, a Peace & Reconciliation Conference might be necessary.
