Britain, France and the US are committing to another disastrous military
intervention. Apart from the inevitable casualties, any attack on Syria
can only inflame an already disastrous civil war and would risk pulling
in regional powers further.

Most people in this country have learnt from the disasters of Iraq,
Afghanistan and Libya. According to a Telegraph/YouGov poll
<http://yougov.co.uk/news/2013/08/25/send-medicine-syria-not-guns-or-soldiers/>
on Sunday only 9% of the British public would support troops being sent
to Syria, and only 16% support sending more arms to the region. Our
politicians however have learnt nothing.

Take action:

We need the maximum level of protests to stop them plunging us in to yet
another catastrophic war.

*No attack on Syria*
- Protest tomorrow 5pm, Wednesday 28 August, Downing Street, London
*- National Demonstration: Saturday 31 August, 12 noon, Embankment**,
London*

Embankment tube) and march via Parliament and Downing Street, ending in
Central London for a political rally to say *No attack on Syria**.*
