Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 Friends, I've just sent the following request to president Bush: Dear President Bush: In this time of unparalleled tribulation, I know you are doing all you can to console the survivors, provide generous assistance to the victims, and pursue the criminals who killed thousands of innocent people. You have asked for, and Congress has provided you with, essentially unlimited power to use our military might to respond. This is an awesome responsibility, and one rarely provided to presidents except in time of actual war between countries. I urge you to act with sober restraint, choosing justice over rapid vengeance, and setting a high standard of moral certainty before engaging in any military response. Our track record of military responses all too often leads to the deaths of innocent victims elsewhere, and the spiral of death continues. Sincerely, eric blackstead If you would like to send your own reminder to the President, you can find a similar petition (which has provisions for individual modification) at: www.workingforchange.com/activism/tips.cfm We can't complain if we don't make our wishes known. yours in the bonds, eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
