Subject: Stop the Rush to War

> To President Bush:
>
> I am writing to urge you to call off your much-talked-about invasion of
Iraq. Most Americans agree that Iraq's longtime dictator, Saddam Hussein,
is a sadistic thug, but that does not distinguish him from many other
dictators. Despite this, calls from your administration for a massive,
preemptive invasion of Iraq are dangerously misguided, and a major
distraction from more important priorities.
>
> Nobody can predict how a U.S. invasion would fare, but we can be
reasonably sure of a few things: It will cost tens of billions of dollars,
alienate our allies in Europe and the Middle East, kill many civilians,
further dim prospects for peace between Israel and Palestinians, explicitly
violate the UN Charter and increase the likelihood Hussein might launch his
nastiest anti-civilian weapons against our troops or Israel. Furthermore, a
unilateral invasion is unlikely to foster democracy in Iraq, given the
dominant role of generals in the opposition, and a post-invasion civil war
won by Iraq's Shiite majority might even give neighboring Iran, itself a
member of your ''Axis of Evil,'' a powerful new ally.
>
> Perhaps most importantly, invading Iraq will not lessen the threat of
terrorism against the United States, and may actually increase it. No
compelling evidence has been produced that links Iraq to the September 11
attacks, and a U.S. war against Iraq could incite stronger support for Al
Qaeda across the Arab and Muslim worlds.
>
> You, your cabinet, advisors and a slew of hawkish pundits have made a
clear, if exaggerated, case for why Saddam Hussein is a serious problem.
What you and they haven't done, however, is convince me that invading Iraq
is the appropriate solution.
>
> I call on you to cease planning a U.S. invasion of Iraq.

> Sincerely,
