Letter: At war with America

Do you think Bush is winning a "war on terror"? It’s truer to say he is the most terrifying threat to peace in the world.

He invaded, attacked, conquered and occupied (and is now filling with American military bases) the sovereign nation of Iraq, and he justified that brutality with false allegations.

He said the Iraqis were collaborating with Osama bin Laden, but a congressional commission of inquiry finds there was no collaboration. He said the Iraqis had WMD, but an independent commission in inquiry finds there were no WMD.

The falsity of the charges means the invasion was unjustified. It means more than 800 Americans and 10,000 Iraqis have died in an unjust war. It means that Bush, morally responsible for these deaths, is a war criminal.

What’s more, the Iraq occupation eats billions of dollars that could be better spent helping Americans: the poor, the sick, the elderly, the young, the jobless. By pouring our money down the bottomless pit of Iraq, Bush fights against Americans. The war in Iraq is a war against you and me.
