Soldier refuses to go to Iraq

Lt. Ehren Watada is refusing to go to Iraq because he believes that the war is illegal and that George Bush as commander in chief of the US armed forces is issuing illegal orders

I'm so proud of him. I rejoiced when I heard the news. I downloaded and viewed his recorded statement. He deserves our full support for this brave move.

Thank you for posting this. I grew up in Tacoma, near Ft. Lewis but hadn't heard about Lt Watada.

Thanks...

for the info. I found an article at Common Dreams News Center (www.commondreams.org) about Lt. Watada and other participants in the resistance movement. I couldn't link it here, but the url is below just in case you want to take a look.
