Well, unfortunately this is the war, the war that U.S. and U.K. government, with the Spanish President's support, have promoted, so I think there is a little cynicism when you don't watch what you are doing in Iraq.
Anyway, I repost my message here, whitout that links:
I'm writting to you from Spain. I believe the U.S.A. is a democratic country and that the american people, above all, believe in defending and protecting human rights. So I would appreciate it for you all to continue reading this humble message from an ordinary person and reflect on the Iraq war and what is really going on all over the world these days.
It is true that our President, Jose María Aznar, is supportting the war against Iraq, but against the wishes of 91% of Spanish population. Although we all condemn the horrible terrorist strike that you suffered on September 11th, we are against what we strongly believe is an illegal strike on the sovreign nation of Iraq, because of many reasons the principal ones being:
1.- We know there is no link between Al Qaeda and Iraq, and even less between Al Qaeda and the civilian people who are right now dying in that country as we every day can watch on T.V. and newspapers, including children, women and ¡babies! The proof and evidence that your State Secretary, Collin Powell presented to U.N.O. were false as himself admitted a few days after. Anyway, we do believe that this war is not the way to manage the end of international terrorism, and we are in the conviction that this war will only bring on us all worse effects.
2.- About the hypothetic Iraq's weapons of mass destruction: There are many countries which do posses these types of weapons and for many many years too, and nobody ever has attacked them. Anyway at this time Iraq has not used its so-called weapons of mass destruction. And, most of all, I really believe that the war can be a great pretext for other countries to get these types of weapons, so the world will be an increasingly unsafe place.
3.- I our opinion U.S.A. and United Kingdom, with our President's support, have violated international legality, and broken the purpose of U.N.O. because there is no a resolution which authorizes or which approve the strike to Iraq. And further more it is against the UN Charter.
These are some of the reasons, but the most important one is that a lot of people are dying in Iraq: by now more than 1.250 civilians (children included) and your soldiers too. Saddam Hussein is a monster, yes, he is a terrible dictator, but it doesn’t justify the strike to Iraq and all these deaths.
Also I think the U.S. people is not being informed about the war's consequences, because the self-censorship of T.V. and other media. So I ask you to find out by yourself about what is happening right now in Iraq. You can visit some Spanish web sites (
http://www.noalaguerra.org, http://www.culturacontralaguerra.org, http://www.elpais.es, http://www.elmundo.es, http://www.cadenaser.com) and get real information about the war.
These links don't overwhelm, so I hope you don't delete them at this time.
I am gratefull for your time in reading this.
Kisses and Peace for all.
