You might be a Green .... Peace

You might be a Green if you agree with the following statements:

- The invasion of Iraq was a war of aggression, carried out in defiance of international law.

- Britain doesn't have the right to invade other countries.

- Britain should not go along with US plans for long-term bases in Iraq to guarantee access to oil and large contracts for private corporations.

- We can find better ways of spending the £3.3 billion for Britain to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008.

- We won't be able to convince other nations to abandon nuclear weapons, or to stop developing nuclear weapons, if we retain ours (Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats are all in favour of keeping the Trident nuclear system).

- Real peace will not come through the barrel of a gun. It means renewing our commitment to a radically reformed, and revitalised, United Nations, to international law, to justice and human rights.

- A just and durable peace in the Middle East is impossible without a just resolution to the dispossession of the Palestinian people. The 200 settlements in the Occupied Territories are illegal under international law. We should support the call for a boycott, divestment and sanctions made by more than 170 Palestinian civil society organizations and community groups.
