[JNV] Anti-War Events

[JNV]

Dear friends

We continue to update the JNV site <www.j-n-v.org> with daily Media Reviews. Today's concerns the new report from the Royal Institute for International Affairs, which says that Britain has placed itself at greater risk of terrorist attack because of Tony Blair's decision to ride as a 'pillion passenger' while George W. Bush drives the "war on terror". Invading Iraq and Afghanistan have contributed to that risk. More in the Media Review.


And here are some events happening in the next few weeks:
