Bombs have been dropped and lives shattered. Much of Iraq  lies in ruins, smashed, looted and then occupied by a  hostile and unwanted invasion force. In the face of the  human suffering caused by the war on Iraq we must act now  against the crime of silence and impunity to write a  counter-history.

 Could the doctrine of "preventive war" ever be legal  under international law?  

 Can we record the crimes committed in launching this war of aggression, during the military campaign and ongoing  occupation?  

 Can the initiation of any war be legitimate when overwhelmingly opposed by a global anti-war movement that  includes the citizens of every state involved?  

 Can there be a grassroots space where we can initiate the process of providing justice and accountability?

PRESENTATIONS, TESTIMONY AND VISUALS WILL INVESTIGATE:
