"Red Pepper" the UK Anti-War Group Discusses Bush Visit!
From this article it sounds like they are having problems over there, like many here have with A.N.S.W.E.R.! Where do you go, when you are "anti-war" but don't want to deal with "Doctrine?" BTW: "Red Pepper" is an underground UK online, which is focused on Far Left and Greens in the Peace Movement in UK.

What now for Stop the War?

Natasha Grzincic

November 2003

On a busy Saturday afternoon in September in the small town of Carmarthen, West Wales, Dyfed Powys police were alerted to a suspicious looking package in a shop doorway. They quickly called in the bomb squad, who evacuated a part of the town centre for four hours to carry out a controlled explosion.



But this wasn’t your usual act of terrorism. A local peace and justice group was holding a mock arms exhibition just as Europe’s largest arms fair, the DSEi, was taking place at the same time in London. The suspect package was a dummy ‘cluster bomb’ – a tin of baked beans wrapped in cardboard.



Welcome to the new face of the anti-war movement. Far from disappearing, it has taken root in the most unlikely places. And with the latest national demo drawing tens of thousands compared with the million who marched on 15 February, the local groups have become the movement’s heart and soul.
