Sussex Peace Alliance has campaigned for many changes in US/UK foreign policy, both before and after September 11.

We have opposed the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the continuing occupation of those countries.

We also remember those who died on September 11. We believe that Al Qaeda terrorism is a real threat to world peace and security.

This threat should not be forgotten or ignored but we must not let ourselves be distracted from it by the issue of Iraq, which should be addressed through enhanced security and more peaceful policies.
