051101 Donna Mulhearn** - After The War: The Future of Iraq

In 2003 George Bush's 'coalition of the willing' invaded Iraq and unleashed their campaign of “shock and awe”. Bombs rained from the sky and hundreds of innocent Iraqi men, women and children were killed. For many in the so called liberal democracies that supported the US imperial quest, the initial days of the war seemed like an over priced computer game. For others the unspoken human carnage that was the “collateral damage” became a rallying point and a focus of what became the “human shield” movement.

Donna Mulhearn was part of the human shield movement during the early days of the war in Iraq. She later returned as a humanitarian aid worker to set up a shelter for street kids in Baghdad and assist homeless families. During this time she survived constant bombing, being kidnapped by fighters and shot at by American soldiers. She is a former journalist and political advisor and is an independent writer and speaker on non-violence, spirituality and politics. Donna's latest trip to the Middle East included time in Iraq and the West Bank of Palestine, where she spent four months as a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement. She spoke at the Migrant Resource Centre in late November 2005.
