The Herald: Anti-War Scots Gear Up For Protest A rallying cry for people all over Scotland to protest was issued yesterday by Tommy Sheridan, the Scottish Socialist leader. Appealing directly to the thousands who marched in Glasgow last February in protest against the Iraq war, he said: "We appeal to those citizens to take to the streets again to display their complete disgust that a war criminal will be walking along a blood-soaked red carpet laid by Mr Blair, his partner in war crimes." The MSP also called on the "millions of others" who may have been undecided about the war at the time, but who were now unhappy with the aftermath and the fact that no weapons of mass destruction had been found, to join in this time. He accepted that many Scots would not be able to join in the major demonstrations planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh, but he urged them, wherever they were, to protest against the Bush visit. Mr Sheridan said: "Bush is not welcome in Scotland, he is not welcome in Britain, he is not welcome in any part of the civilised world because it is not civilised to maul and maim innocent men, women and children."
