Take action to stop the war in Iraq now. Join thousands of others in sending the message: Feed Iraq, don't bomb them. (NEW email address below, made necessary due to disruption of online communications.) |
|
Say NO to war!
Other anti-war groups, please pick up this campaign!
In the 1950's, tens of thousands of people sent small bags of rice to President Eisenhower convincing him not to attack China. Now a nationwide effort has been launched to send the same message to President Bush about Iraq. If we are going to send something to Iraq it should be food, not bombs.
Send a half cup of uncooked rice in a plastic bag *AND* a strong padded envelope or a small box with the message "Rice for Peace - No War On Iraq" on the outside of the package. (Be sure that the package is secure so that it won't break open in the mail, and that no rice will leak out! No headaches for the Post Office folks, please.)
Mail now to:
President George Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington DC 20500
NEW email address!
Like a number of peace and justice organizations, the Rice For Peace folks have found that their online communications have been subject to curious disruptions.
They've made some changes. Their new email address is:
RiceForPeace (at) indra.com
If you send rice, also send an email to Rice For Peace at RiceForPeace (at) indra.com with your city and state so they can count your message for peace.

One of the best resources for information about war in the Middle East is the website of the Colorado Campaign for Middle East Peace. Its great strength is preservation of media articles to create an up-to-date historical record, particularly about Palestine/Israel and Iraq. The website is here:

Excerpt:
At the U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) in Omaha and inside planning cells of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, target lists are being scrutinized, options are being pondered and procedures are being tested to give nuclear armaments a role in the new U.S. doctrine of "preemption."
According to multiple sources close to the process, the current planning focuses on two possible roles for nuclear weapons:
attacking Iraqi facilities located so deep underground that they might be impervious to conventional explosives;
thwarting Iraq's use of weapons of mass destruction.

The Third Graphic |

Nice graphics, but the third one would have been a bit more effective is you'd used some other plane -- what you have there is a T-38 trainer, which isn't exactly the message you want to send to those who know the difference. I'm assuming you want those in the military to think about this, also, but they might just snicker.
You want to look for something like a B-1 bomber or something -- although even the B-1's are no longer actually nuclear-capable, because of START Treaty limitations too complicated to be of interest here. |
