From MoveOn.org: No War on Iraq
The Bush White House is aggressively promoting war on Iraq, without strong support from Congress, the American public, or our allies.
We believe:
"Without hard evidence that Iraq poses a clear and present danger to the U.S., Congress must act to prevent a war on Iraq."
Brent Scowcroft, the former National Security Advisor, says a U.S. invasion of Iraq "could turn the whole region into a cauldron and, thus, destroy the war on terrorism."
Henry Kissinger says, "The notion of justified pre- emption runs counter to modern international law, which sanctions the use of force in self-defense only against actual -- not potential -- threats." Kissinger also says, "American military intervention in Iraq would be supported only grudgingly, if at all, by most European allies."
Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) says the CIA has "absolutely no evidence" that Iraq possesses or will soon possess nuclear weapons.
Dick Armey, the House (Republican) Majority Leader, says, "I don't believe that America will justifiably make an unprovoked attack on another nation." He also says, "It would not be consistent with what we have been as a nation or what we should be as a nation."
Act now to (1) speak out, (2) tell others, and (3) help out.
