Peace Petition

Dear Friends, I generally abstain from mass emailings, but am making an exception in this case. The potential calamity the world faces should the US fail to exercise military restraint is very frightening. Please follow the instructions below in sending and disseminating the petition:

1. Copy and paste (do not forward) the petition into a new message, sign

it, and send it to the United Nations: ecu@un.org

2. Do the same again and send it to George W. Bush: president@whitehouse.gov

3. Do the same again and send it to everyone you know

Thank you,

Ruth

Petition:

As a member of our free western human society, in the light of the terrible events in New York and Washington, I wish to put forward the following demands to all governments in the world, as these are matters concerning the whole planet:

1 Avoid War

2 No Military Actions Against Innocent People

(regardless of their nationality, language, belief, education or origin) Do Not Go Into War Or Start A War! (because this is exactly what the terrorists want to achieve)

Military retaliation does not solve the problem of fanaticism, but instead fuels the anger and demands "counter"-revenge and plays the people who are caught in-between into the hands of the terrorists and their leaders.

3 Bring International Justice To The Responsible Leaders For The Terrorist Attack

4 Isolate The Terrorists With The Help Of Middle Eastern Governments

5 United Diplomatic Efforts And Forceful Talks Instead Of Violence Are Of The Utmost Priority.

I undersign and support above demands.
