TO:   The President of the United States
 
FROM:   176 peace-loving people of Canada


Your troops await your order to attack. "Special forces" have been preparing the way for weeks. Devastating sanctions have been weakening Iraq for years.

But your plan to bring the world along on your "pre-emptive" attack has largely failed. The world knows it is not Saddam Hussein but the Iraqi people who will suffer and die in this war. Yet you've given your word that you'll follow through.

Recognizing the corner you have backed yourself into, we the undersigned graciously offer you a way out.

Just walk away and come to Canada.

There is no more painless way to accomplish the regime change the world is pulling for. To that end, we offer not only you but your entire family and all of your closest advisors asylum in Canada.

As your northern neighbour and famously loyal ally, we feel it our duty to assist you to the best of our ability in this matter. Of course, given your record, we cannot allow you to hold public office or seek employment in our oil industries or military during your exile. We hope you understand. But consider this: after meeting certain residency requirements, you and yours will be beneficiaries of our universal health care system and other aspects of our social safety net, should they be required.

We realize you may need some time to make your decision. Our invitation will remain open until our patience runs out.

Sincerely,

To be sent by registered mail to George W. Bush at the White House upon collection of the first 2003 signatures � and again with each subsequent set of 2000 signatures
