What would be your argument against the U.S. going to war in iraq?

If you were to write a persuasive letter to your U.S. congressman stating your argument against the united states going to iraq, what would u say?.. what would be your reasons for this? how would u convince the readers to take some action? change an attitude or position? or support your position? how would u say all this in an exact to the point but still having a courteous tone?What would be your argument against the U.S. going to war in iraq?Assuming you mean, %26quot;what would be an argument before we went in%26quot; then my answer is as follows.



Honorable Congressman/woman/gayperson/lesbian person:



I urge you to consider the consequences of your actions should you vote to go to war. War is not worth our precious military lives, no matter what. We can withstand many attacks like 9/11 and still not equal the costs of what a war will be. If it's freedom you want to protect, please, we don't care. We would rather be alive and worship Allah than see our brave military being sent home in body bags and have to hear the news tell us everynight how bad things are going.



We have it pretty good right without stirring up hatred among the Islamic fundamentalists. It would be many years anyway before they are able to seriously threaten us, so why should we risk our peaceful existence just to make sure people in the future are safe?



We should negotiate and pretend we are at peace. War is not an option and should not be considered. Concede anything you must to keep us out of a war. The countries of the world want this and so do the American people. Give me peace, but don't give me death. And tread on me if it brings peace. Peace be to you, Peace be to Allah. Death to America, Death to Israel. Long live Islam, my Arab brother.



Respectully,

The American citizentry as led by Liberals.

What would be your argument against the U.S. going to war in iraq?
WTF?













dude, little history. been there done that.
the enemy of our enemy is our friend but the friends of their friends is our enemy.
Bit late, I think all the Congressmen and women know
The US military shouldn't have to invade other countries (like Iraq %26amp; Iran) to preserve Israeli security.



Israel has a great military that should solve Israeli problems not the US military!
I'd say the whole thing was a fraud fueled by hidden agendas.
You mean way back when they could still have stopped it?



The crime of a war of aggression is listed in Article 5.1 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (RSICC) as one of the four most serious crimes of concern to the international community, and that it falls within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). It was addressed earlier by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg following World War II, which called the waging of aggressive war %26quot;essentially an evil thing...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.%26quot;



The invasion of Iraq is considered a war of aggression, and therefore a war crime, because there was no provocation for it. No connection with the Al Qaeda attack, no weapons of mass destruction.
Like our conservative idiot government would listen to a letter to our congressmen. They are all blood-thirsty hypocrites
how can we explain that since Saddam was a CIA man we put him there we gave him the helicopters to spray the Kurds and we put him to fight the Iranians because the kick our man the shah out and we made him the bad dog in the area so we can sale trillions of $$$ to Saudis..of war equipment thru gh the Israelis contractors and now we want to take him out because he choose another company to buy his power plant and to sale his oil???
My argument goes back to the founders of our constitution and to the basic premise we lived under for 200 years. We are the greatest nation because of our tolerance, because of our freedoms and because of our faith in the human condition. We are not supposed to be occupiers. Yes, Saddam Hussein was a bad man, but in many parts of the world George Bush is viewed equally so. What government has the right to tell another how to govern and to occupy them if they don't like they way they run their country. There were no terrorists in Iraq when we went to war. They are there now. We have created such a mess that it will take a generation to straighten it out. We're not safer today. We're less safe. We're no longer the US riding in on a white stead to save the day, we're the enemy. We're not for human rights, the US stands for US dollar and everybody knows it. We can't even take care of our domestic problems. I don't want to be nice to my congressman. I am embarrassed to be a US citizen and ashamed of our actions. I am afraid for our young people fighting for something elusive and intangible. Have we killed Osama Bin Laden? No, the real bad guy is still stirring up trouble in Afghanistan and now we are so weak as a country we can't even do anything about it. What are we worried about. We're worried about whether or not Alberto Gonzales is going to resign. They all need to go to prison for treason.
I sent a letter to my elected representatives, including President Bush, on September 12, 2001. In this letter, I pointed out that U.S. foreign policy, as evidenced by Operation Ajax, U.S. involvement in the Iran/Iraq war including fomenting it over oil and supporting Iraq with weapons and military intelligence, radicalization of Afghan schoolchildren with U.S.-supplied textbooks urging religious-based opposition to foreign military forces, CIA training camps that trained insurgents to instill patriotic separatism to fight the Russians under the direction of Osama bin Laden while in the employ of the CIA, and the unconditional support of Israel and her aggression were the causes of the 9/11 and other attacks against the United States.



In response I received several %26quot;thank you for your interest%26quot; letters and a glossy 8 x 10 of President and Mrs. Bush.



That was when I left the Republican Party.
