The occupation of Iraq has already resulted in the death of more than 3,000 Americans and 650,000 Iraqi civilians. More than 22,000 soldiers have been wounded. And no one can accurately predict the number of Iraqi casualties.
While promising a new strategy for Iraq, President Bush and his neo-conservative advisors are expected to make a bad situation worse by pouring more troops into Iraq.
Since our invasion of Iraq acts of terrorism around the world have increased by over 100%. No number of troops can solve this problem.
But Senator Joesph Biden, along with Leslie Gelb, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, have proposed a five-point plan that would bring peace to region without deploying more U.S.troops.
TELL PRESIDENT BUSH TO SUPPORT SENATOR BIDEN'S FIVE-POINT PLAN FOR PEACE, NOT THE DEPLOYMENT OF MORE TROOPS TO IRAQ!
The Supreme Court recently ruled to block military tribunals for detainees at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In light of this decision, now is the time for President Bush to close the doors to Guantanamo for good!
Detaining persons without cause, denying due process in a court of law, and ignoring worldwide concerns about the inhumane treatment of detainees are rooted in values which run counter to the basic teachings of nearly every religion and spiritual practice and are acts one should never expect at any institution under US jurisdiction.
Young innocent children, hospitals with terminal patients, schools, the eldery and destitute...being bombarded with cluster bombs containing depleted unanium, and white phosterous...where children burning alive run down the streets with their skin falling off. But Bush is above all of this...he has the direct line to the man upstairs...completely on a higher level ~boots~
