Call on the government to answer the 10 key questions, from OWOS supporters, about Iraq, on the 5th Anniversary of the start of the war.

Q1.	With so much doubt over the legality of going to war, and also the conduct of the war, what are the reasons for not bringing the then Prime Minister to answer in court?

Q2.	How does the government justify spending over £7 billion on the war to date when pensioners and hospitals in Britain are in need of funds?

Q3.	What is the effect on people’s trust in democracy and willingness to participate in the democratic process when the government ignores the voices of two million people who demonstrated to express their opposition to the war as well as the wishes of the majority of British people?

Q4.	How many civilian casualties and military casualties – on both sides – have been lost as a direct result of the war in Iraq?

Q5.	When exactly did Tony Blair make the decision to go to war?

Q6.	What reparations will Britain make to the people of Iraq?

Q7.	British troops are still risking injury and death while our government continues the war for reasons that are still unclear – when will the government take all British troops out of Iraq?

Q8.	As the long-lasting effects of Depleted Uranium on the people of Iraq and on the environment are not fully understood, will the government ban the use of DU until they are?

Q9.	According to the US State Department, terrorist incidents increased 25% worldwide from 2005-2006. What is the British Government doing to re-establish the principle that disputes can be settled peacefully without recourse to violence?

Q10.	For what reasons did we go to war?
