As the Thai government sent a fresh
batch of 400 soldiers in Iraq yesterday to support
the US war in Iraq, different groups and individuals
under the banner of United for Peace-Chiang Mai join
the millions of people all over the world in calling
for an end to war in Iraq and an end to all wars for
profit and power. The group also joins the Thai people’s
call for the withdrawal of Thai troops in Iraq.
The
United for Peace-Chiangmai marks March 20
as the day of “Wan Bupa Proy Praey (The Day
of the Fluttering of Flowers)”, as they ride
their bicycles and motorbikes around the city with
flowers and balloons. The flowers are for the Thai
soldiers and the others who died in the continuing
war in Iraq, and the balloons are to be flown to
express solidarity with the peoples over the world

Thousands of Iraq people women, children were killed
and the war destroyed the infrastructure such as water
system, hospitals, schools, museums. The U.S. British
led troops are unable to find the “weapons of mass
destruction.
We demand U.S. and British military to be withdrawn
immediately from Iraq. We join with others world over
and condemn the occupation of U.S. in Iraq.
We demand that Iraq should rule their land and U.S.
and British to pay for all the Damages done during
and after the war.
We demand Indian Government to withdraw the military
tie up with U.S.
