The UK lobby trading as 'anti-war' is showing its true colours by following – in the sense of using without qualification – the racist phraseology and the racist language of the occupying imperialists.
Their ‘political’ cousins across the ocean in the USA are essentially the same.
They too want to call it a war as far as their references to the people of Iraq under US-ed occupation is concerned.
