BACKGROUND:
The Bush Administration is considering pursuing military action against
as many as 40 countries suspected of harboring terrorists. Iraq remains
a prime target. In the past 11 years the US has led a devastating
economic and air assault on that country in an effort to weaken Saddam
Hussein. This war has - according to UN estimates - killed over a
million people (including an estimated average of 150 children a day).
The US rationalizes escalation of the war against Iraq as part of a
general war on terrorism although no links to the Sept. 11 attack have
been disclosed, nor are they likely. And outgoing Secretary of Defense,
William Cohen, told incoming President George Bush in January, 2001:
"Iraq no longer poses a military threat to its neighbors."
Iraq is willing to let weapons inspectors return if the bombing and
economic sanctions are lifted (Iraqi Ambassador to UN al-Douri, BBC Nov.
29, 2001), a solution that would promote international security and the
welfare of the Iraqi people.
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN OF CONSCIENCE:
The American Friends Service Committee and Fellowship of Reconciliation
launched the campaign in December 1999 to pressure the U.S. government
and the United Nations Security Council to end the economic sanctions
that have severely restricted the availability of food, medicine, and
clean water in Iraq. During the past ten years, sanctions have led to an
almost complete breakdown in economic, medical, social, and educational
structures.
More than 150 organizations/faith communities - including 80 Friends
meetings - and thousands of individuals have joined or supported the
campaign, and Pax Christi USA has become the third major partner. (more
is available on the Campaign of Conscience website

Peace Pledge Endorsed by:
American Friends Service Committee, Episcopal Peace Fellowship,
Fellowship of Reconciliation, Lutheran Peace Fellowship, Voices in the
Wilderness, and Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility.
