Rev Jesse Jackson (1941- 2026), American civil rights leader, marching in solidarity with hundreds of thousands of British peace campaigners who are demonstrating their opposition to military action against Iraq. The British public anticipated the difficulties and the great suffering that a war against Iraq would cause. However, the British Government under Tony Blair (UK Prime Minister at the time) decided to comply with the US President George W. Bush administration's ill-advised Iraq invasion plans.
