Because we live in a country which is supposed to be a representative democracy. Our elected representatives views are supposed to represent the peoples views.
See name and shame section for how FF PD decided to take part in the US war on Iraq.

Our national identity as a peaceful nation is being changed to a warmongering one where it’s OK to transport 115,000 125,000 of the total of 200,000 invading soldiers through Ireland as a stepping stone to invade a country in a war based on lies.

Because FF/PD have no foreign policy of their own and are happy to repeat the lies of someone else.

Because this country has no huge standing army or weaponry, so it’s in our own interest to settle international disputes diplomatically, not by war.

Because our constitution has been broken, and set aside as a mere set of "guidelines", not law, by the Judge in the Ed Horgan case.

Because passengers and residents lives at Shannon are being put at unnecessary risk by the transport of patriot missiles, napalm, depleted uranium missiles and unknown weapons that even the emergency services are not allowed (by having guns pointed at them) to see when called upon to extinguish a fire.

Because this country should be gun-free for civilians, law-enforcers and on planes going through our airports.
