	Cairo Anti-war Conference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cairo Conference against U.S. hegemony and war on Iraq and in solidarity with Palestine (later: Popular Campaign for the Support of Resistance in Palestine and Iraq and Against Globalization), generally known simply as Cairo Anti-war Conference, is an anti-war and anti-neo-liberalism conference held regularly since 2002 in Cairo, Egypt.
		Though the Egyptian government was formally against the Iraq war (See Governments' pre-war positions on invasion of Iraq), relations between it and the conference are strained by the fact that Mubarak's regime receives funding from the U.S.A and that the regime fears popular movements which may grow to challenge its dictatorship.
		In regard to escalating American pressure on Iran and Syria, the conference agreed on an international day of solidarity with Iran and Syria on the 6th of May 2006, an ambition that was reiterated regarding Iran in a separate call for "international coordinated action" that was attached to the declaration.

		Sanctions were imposed on Iraq with the purpose of annihilating Saddam's aggressive capacity, so that countries in the region and the Kurds and Shiites of Iraq are no longer under threat.

		This aggression is comprehensive in nature and has taken the form of falsifying facts, ridiculing Islamic values,attacking the Qur'an and the Prophet Muhammad Allah's blessing and peace be upon him, deceptive media campaigns, and economic extortion.
		This sinful aggression has caused humanity to revert to the hateful days of colonialism when the imperial states violated the inviolability of weak peoples - exploiting their resources and fiddling with their values- when the law of jungle reigned supreme.
		The founding of this campaign shall be in accordance with the instructions of Allah and His Messenger - peace and blessing be upon him - to cooperate in righteousness and piety, and to come to the aid of the oppressed and repel aggressors.

		Predicting a heavy loss of life in the event of another war in Iraq, Halliday warns that there could be a total breakdown of civil society already considerably weakened by years of sanctions.
		While there is no panacea for Iraq, Halliday certainly has a clear picture of what could be done to set the country on the road to recovery.

	Collaboration won't buy Iraq's freedom
		Iraqis campaigning to end the occupation of our country have been shocked to hear the harsh criticisms levelled at the Stop the War coalition by leaders of the trade union Unison and others.
