Sinn
Fein president Gerry Adams says he intends to make
his anti-war feelings known to US President George
Bush when he meets him in Belfast next week.
Mr
Adams has expressed his opposition to the war in Iraq
and described as insensitive, the decision to use
Northern Ireland as a venue for the US-UK summit on
the war.
Sinn
Fein are encouraging anti-war protestors to travel
to Belfast and show their opposition and Gerry Adams
says he will make their position clear to Mr Bush.
"Well
I`m very conscious that the calling of a summit on
the war in Iraq is insensitive to Irish feelings in
all of this and Sinn Fein is part of the anti-war
movement. We`re for peace in Ireland, we`re for peace
in Iraq, we`re for peace in the Middle East and I
certainly will look for the opportunity to convey
that when I speak to Mr Bush. I have no problem meeting
him of course on the issue of peace in Ireland but
I do see a contradiction in both the British and US
position."
