George Galloway, in his 20 minute talk, brought the audience to its
feet man times. His talk was full of passion, and he termed George Bush and
Tony Blair as criminals for their destruction of Fallujah.

Concerning a 6 year old Iraqi girl who was wounded there and is living
in the UK, he said:

"One year ago the United States Air Force backed by a perimeter ring
of steel created by the Blackwatch of the British Army - her house was
destroyed, and she lost her mother, her father, her brothers, her sisters,
her grandmother, her grandfather. All of them murdered by George Bush and
Tony Blair. And I told that little girl we in this movement will never rest
until we have brought to account the criminals responsible for the massacre
of your family."

The London conference called on the anti-war movement in all countries
to:

* Organise international demonstrations on March 18-19 2006, the third
anniversary of the war and invasion, calling for the immediate withdrawal of
troops and an end to the occupation.
* Campaign for a full international public inquiry into the assault on
Fallujah last year.
* Give full support to the campaigns of military families in the US,
Britain and the other occupying countries.
* Develop an international coordination from this conference to plan
further events.
* Campaign against the privatisation of Iraqi oil.
* Oppose any attack on Iran or Syria.

Additionally:

"This international Peace Conference of 1,400 anti-war activists from
Britain, the USA and many other countries demands the release of all
illegally detained prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.

We urge the release of the four Chritian peace campaigners, Norman
Kember, Tom Fox, James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden, and we ask those
holding them to return them to their families unharmed."

Humpty Dumpty Bush fell off the Iraq wall.
Humpty Dumpty Bush had a big fall.
All his spin doctors and all the President's men
couldn't put Humpty Dumpty Bush together again.
