The Stop the War Coalition was not founded to oppose the war in Iraq. It was founded to oppose the war in Afghanistan. So it has been right from the very start. Our arbitrary intervention in an Afghan Civil War that has now been going on continuously for 40 years has been an abject disaster from the outset, and it continues to be so.
We are now effectively back to supporting the Taliban, whom we created, against the local franchise of IS, which did not exist until we took out the bulwark against such things in Iraq. By far the most prominent politician in the Western world to have said all of this throughout every one of these adventures is Jeremy Corbyn.
