PEACE PLEDGE TEXT:
I support peace for Iraq. I grant permission to use my name and city
publicly as an opponent of the ongoing economic and bombing war on
Iraq, and of any escalation of that war.
The Bush Administration is considering pursuing military action
against as many as 40 countries suspected of harboring terrorists.
Iraq remains a prime target. In the past 11 years the US has led a
devastating economic and air assault on that country in an effort to
weaken Saddam Hussein. This war has - according to UN estimates -
killed over a million people (including an estimated average of 150
children a day). The US rationalizes escalation of the war against
Iraq as part of a general war on terrorism although no links to the
Sept. 11 attack have been disclosed, nor are they likely. And
outgoing Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, told incoming President
George Bush in January, 2001: "Iraq no longer poses a military threat
to its neighbors."
Iraq is willing to let weapons inspectors return if the bombing and
economic sanctions are lifted (Iraqi Ambassador to UN al-Douri, BBC
Nov. 29, 2001), a solution that would promote international security
and the welfare of the Iraqi people.
