Other reasons for boycotting coke
www.indymedia.ie/... (union busting / dodgy activity in Columbia ).
UCD and TCD Student Unions have both had referenda to boycott
Coke on campus and have it banned. If you walk into one of
those restaurants that servers no drinks other than Coke and it's

Cinema (US films) |
This is a tough one. Most films are US made
and many US TV people at the Oscars in 03, particularly Michael Moore
let the world know they're against the war. But others such as
Arnold Schwarzenegger see nothing wrong with going to Iraq to
entertain the troops. Obviously cinema goers should fund people such
as Moore to continue publicizing the truth, but taxes on a Moore
film, and a Schwarzenegger film will both fund the US war machine. |

Irish Independent |
This paper did not give the Ed Horgan vs. the
Irish Government case half the publicity it should have received. When
judges start proclaiming the constitution as "aspirational" etc. it
should be publicized. Even funnyman Brendan O'Connor joined the
anti-anti-war brigade, branding them all left wing pinkos etc. |

As above. Kevin Myers in "An Irishmans Diary" in
particular, comes across as a particularly nasty piece of work. |

Non-members |
The rest of the world were not allowed bid for
Iraqi civilian contracts after the war. |
Members |
Even though Ireland was a member of the
coalition (see Quotes link on homepage) we were not allowed bid for the
same civilian contracts because as Bush Jnr said we "have not put
enough lives at risk" in Iraq. |
