GEORGIA, NATO & THE SPREAD OF WAR

Friends Meeting House (Small Hall)
173 Euston Road London NW1 2BJ
6.30 pm, Thursday 14 August, 2008

with

MARK ALMOND, lecturer in History, Oxford University and expert on the Caucasus

KATE HUDSON, Chair of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

BORIS KAGARLITSKI, former director Institute of Globalisation Studies, Moscow
and author of, ˜Empire of the Periphery: Russia and the World System"

JOHN REES, Officer of Stop the War Coalition and author of ˜Imperialism and
Resistance"

The outbreak of war in Georgia is already a disaster for the people of the
region. It risks being turned into a still broader problem by Dick Cheney's
threats. The conflict is in large measure the product of George Bush's policy
of US global hegemony, in the Caucasus as in the Middle East. Attempts to
extend NATO eastwards, specifically incorporating Georgia, directly challenge
Russian interests. Please come to the meeting to discuss this latest flashpoint
in an increasingly dangerous world and forward this message to your contacts.
