PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY
International Affairs Committee Drafting Resolution to Authorize Bombing of
Iraq
Rep. Ron Paul Circulating Congressional Letter in Opposition
Friends - As many of you know, there has been immense pressure building
recently within the Bush Administration, and the media, to make Iraq the
next target in our unending war against terrorism. Now a number of members
of Congress have written a letter urging President Bush to do just that, and
this coming Tuesday the House International Relations Committee will be
drafting a resolution to authorize attacks on Iraq. (Much greater attacks
than what we have been doing already, aimed at overthrowing Saddam Hussein.)
It will, among other things, stipulate that any refusal of Iraq to grant
access to UN inspectors to any site in Iraq will be considered an "act of
aggression against the United States."
Con. Ron Paul of Texas is circulating a letter opposing any attacks on Iraq.
While not a pacifist letter, it does clearly state that there will be
massive loss of life if we do this, that pretty much the rest of the world
opposes us doing this, that even our allies freely acknowledge that there is
no evidence that Iraq had anything to do with the September 11 bombing, and
that taking military action against them would thus go well beyond the
original resolution authorizing use of force in Afghanistan.
Please circulate this message to all your group and personal email
listserves, and urge your group members, colleagues or friends to call their
Represenatives immediately (as in Monday and Tuesday) to speak against the
bombing of Iraq, and to urge them to sign on to Rep. Paul's letter. While
all members of Congress are important, the members of the House
International Relations Committee are particularly so, and they are listed
below.
