"WHEREAS: If the United States invades Iraq without a second UN resolution, it will be in violation of the United Nations Charter Article 39 that states: 'The Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of peace, or act of aggression and shall make recommendations, or decide what measures shall be taken...to maintain or restore international peace and security.'
WHEREAS: ThE UN estimates that there will be over 500,000 Iraqi casualties of war.
WHEREAS: CNN reports the United States is planning on striking Iraq through a tactic known as "shock and awe", which entails 3,000 air strikes on the first day - ten times the magnitude of the initial days of the first Gulf War.
WHEREAS: The CIA has repeatedly noted that Saddam Hussein is a diminished threat, and will most likely only unleash whatever weapons he has only if provoked by American military hostilities.
WHEREAS: This Iraq war will increase anti-Americanism everywhere and our country's morality will lose all valiancy as body bags of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians drain the nightly news.
WHEREAS: This war should be fought with BRAINS and not BOMBS.
THEREFORE: we hereby resolve to condemn any illegal actions of the US Government in regards to the sovereign nation of Iraq."
Bush says our terrorist threats will be erradicated when Saddam is taken from power. i don't even remember when he became our focus again...oh yeah, after we found out we didn't have enough evidence to start a war with afghanistan.
mark my words when i say, this war will backfire on the US.
