[edit] DON'T ATTACK IRAN!
US President Bush has been using bellicose rhetoric against the Islamic republic, with the president warning of the threat of "World War III" if Iran gains the know-how to make nuclear weapons (New York Times, Oct 17th 2007). These signs may mean that military action against Iran is imminent, with catastrophic consequences for world peace.
Norwich Stop the War Coalition condemns any military action against Iran and will organise protests against this - in the event of a military strike we will meet to protest at 6:00 PM at the steps of the City Hall.
