Just read at BIANET <www.bianet.org> that yesterdeay, several
members of the Anti-war Platform meet in front of the TIBA
building in Istanbul and handed a letter, a pair of army boots
and uniform to be delivered to the TIBA president Tuncay Ozilhan.
Although the building security refused to deliver the boots and
the uniform to Ozilhan, they took the letter.

In that letter, it was said that if Ozilhan, who called for
Turkey's active military participation in Iraq to support the US,
expected any benefits from the bombs that will rain on the people
of Iraq, from the Iraqi families who will fight with hunger and
from the Iraqi children who will learn about death, he should put
these boots and the uniform on and go to war himself.
