George Galloway is a British politician noted for his left-wing views, confrontational style, and rhetorical skill. He is currently the Respect Member of Parliament (MP) for Bethnal Green and Bow, and was previously elected as a Labour Party MP for Glasgow Hillhead and Glasgow Kelvin. Campaigning against sanctions on Iraq, he made several visits to that country and met Saddam Hussein in 1994 and 2002; he was expelled from the Labour Party in October 2003 after controversial statements against the 2003 invasion of Iraq including “Iraq is fighting for all the Arabs. Where are the Arab armies?” In January 2004 he formed RESPECT The Unity Coalition as a new socialist political party to the left of Labour, made up of opponents of UK participation in the Iraq war including the Socialist Workers Party and several leading members of the Muslim Association of Britain. He was returned to Parliament as its candidate in the 2005 general election. Mr. Galloway’ book Mr. Galloway Goes To Washington brought him to the United States on a whirlwind tour that also included a stop at Washington DC where he told Congress and the Senate his point of views on Iraq.
