travel through Ireland on the way to Iraq - in spite of Ireland's own
constitution and tradition of neutrality and non-alignment.

The Czech Parliament will have to take a stand about the
construction of a U.S. military base and probably it will vote in
favour of its installation, even though 70% of the population opposes
this plan.Given the urgency of the situation, we have launched an
on-line petition to exert pressure on the Parliament and ask that the
matter be resolved with a referendum.
The NMD project of the
United States -- their national missile defense system, is a very
complex project which involves the production of new weapons, and the
installation of American military bases in different parts of the
planet. In particular, in Europe, the first step is the installation of
a radar system in the Czech Republic, and a base for interceptor
missiles in Poland. This plan has divided Europe, which at the moment
is not able to give a united, coherent and nonviolent response to the
United States' aggressive policies. The reaction of Russia and China
has created a "cold war" atmosphere. International tensions are
increasing, and the crazy arms race (both conventional and nuclear) has
restarted. Above all, the bases are being installed to militarize and
control space.
The majority of Czechs do not want foreign
military bases on their territory.The majority of Czechs want to decide
these problems themselves by means of a referendum: a fundamental
instrument of any democracy.
You are being asked to support
our nonviolent protest!This plan does not involve only us Czechs, but
the whole of Europe and the whole world. Sign our on-line petition, and pass it on to your friends! Send us your messages of support!Help us collect a million signatures!
