2005_5_23_6_:00 "Two Letters from the Unsilent Majority"

"Two Letters from the Unsilent Majority" from United for Peace and Justice

To: President Bush (In sending our young men and women to fight, to kill, and to die in Iraq, you have committed a grievous wrong and trampled international law ...) and Senator Kerry (Tell the people of this country the war was wrong, the occupation is disaster, and that we can have no future as a colonial power. Speak up for what's right, right now ...). Join Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon, Howard Zinn, and United for Peace and Justice in signing on to these letters Click Here

The American Friends Service Committee has formally called for a withdrawal of U.S. forces in Iraq and for international forces to take over. You may be interested in these excerpts from their statement:

“We believe it is now clear that the continuing U.S. military presence in Iraq is counter-productive and wrong. The occupation has lost the trust of the Iraqi people. We abhor the violence—each day Iraq becomes less safe for the occupied, the occupiers, and those who seek to relieve the suffering… The U.S. must give way, so that the UN and other agencies, working with the Iraqi interim government, can bring peace and stability. The AFSC believes that the United States has lost the moral standing to achieve the necessary healing, but remains responsible to support financially those institutions and agencies which can do so.” Click Here for the full AFSC statement.
