Errors and solidarity

Patrick Wintour reports that: Labour will have to admit that serious errors have been made over the war in Iraq if it is to restore public trust in the government, a growing number of ministers believe.” It is only right that ministers and party members continue to learn lessons from the last few years but it is also vital that we increase our practical and moral solidarity with Iraqi democrats, especially the new and independent labour movement. The resurgence of that movement after decades of fascism is a great symbol of hope and vehicle of social justice in Iraq. Gary Kent
