Iraq

Dear friends,

I just took an action on the internet telling the new US Congress to
stop President Bush's plan to escalate the war in Iraq, and I thought
you might be interested. Please see the email below.

Subject: You Thought Iraq Could Not Get Worse

Dear friends,

Just when we thought the war in Iraq couldn't get any worse - it has.
Last
night, President Bush rejected reality, spurned the American people's
verdict, and announced his new policy: MILITARY ESCALATION IN IRAQ.

The good news is that the newly elected United States Congress can stop
this madness. We're launching an immediate campaign to let the Congress
hear from global voices - placing an ad with the number of signatures to
our petition in "Roll Call", an influential political paper sent to
every
member of the US Congress. Click below to see the ad, and sign the
petition:

With hope,

Ricken, Paul, Tom, Rachel, Galit, Lee-Sean and the rest of the
Avaaz.org Team

Is Bush too young to know what happened in Vietnam?! Some wars just can be won (?!) in a conventional (read: with agression) way..

My point more or less, and the only reason I allow someone else's voice here. G.W. Bush is not my president and the US of A is not my country so it is really not my business how bad he fucks it up but when any country's leader uses the power given to him/her in a way that it affects the entire world it is everybody's right and duty to protest.
