Opposing the Iraq War is an emotional but mostly intellectual exercise for most of us. But for many who are in the armed forces there is considerable risk involved. We can support these brave individuals with our money and letters. Perhaps this will be one of the major ways that this immoral and illegal war will be stopped.Two web sites with information about war resisters including Lt.Ehren Watada, Spc. Suzanne Swift, and Sgt. Ricky Clousing are: http://www.couragetoresist.org and http://www.notinourname.net. Over 3000 US soldiers and countless Iraqes have died. Huge numbers on both sides will live with injuries for the rest of their lives.
Many who previously supported this war and occupation now oppose it, even within the military. We must do all we can, even from a distance, to help bring this to an end.
