WAR CAN BE AVERTED SAYS NOWAR
KEEP A COOL HEAD MR BUSH AND MR HOWARD
 

At Victoria Square today Sunday Jan 19th where the group will pack an effigy of Prime Minister Howard’s head and a photo of Bush’s head in ice.

Spokespeople for NOWAR will urge Adelaide citizens to attend a major peace rally in Adelaide on Sunday 16th February at 12 noon in Victoria Square as part of nationwide demonstrations that weekend against a war on Iraq. 

There is a real possibility that war with Iraq could be averted altogether they said. 

The group’s action in Victoria Square is timed to coincide with large peace demonstrations occurring this weekend in the U.S. to express support for the peace movement there, and to urge the Australian government not to support the U.S. administration’s push for an unnecessary and de-stabilising war on Iraq which would exact a terrible toll in human life and generate a humanitarian disaster.
