>Hello, all. The Bush administration was unable to show any hard link 
>between Iraq and the attacks of Sept. 11, so it has declared that the 
>simple possession of weapons of mass destruction by a "rogue state" is 
>terrorism. Now, the House International Relations Committee is considering 
>a resolution that will declare Iraq's refusal to allow weapons inspectors 
>in an act of "aggression" against the United States (weapons inspectors 
>were removed by the United States shortly before the December 1998 "Desert 
>Fox" bombing campaign, and Iraq has not allowed any back in). This is a 
>clear move to authorize large-scale bombing of Iraq. For those of you 
>living in the United States, the following action alert has information on 
>what to do. For everyone else, please do take note. It's not too early to 
>start thinking about demonstrations.

>For more information about Iraq, see http://www.casi.org.uk,

>PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY
>International Affairs Committee Drafting Resolution to Authorize Bombing 
>of Iraq
>Rep. Ron Paul Circulating Congressional Letter in Opposition
>
>Friends - As many of you know, there has been immense pressure building 
>recently within the Bush Administration, and the media, to make Iraq the 
>next target in our unending war against terrorism. Now a number of members 
>of Congress have written a letter urging President Bush to do just that, 
>and this coming Tuesday the House International Relations Committee will 
>be drafting a resolution to authorize attacks on Iraq. (Much greater 
>attacks than what we have been doing already, aimed at overthrowing Saddam 
>Hussein.) It will, among other things, stipulate that any refusal of Iraq 
>to grant access to UN inspectors to any site in Iraq will be considered an 
>"act of aggression against the United States."
>
>Con. Ron Paul of Texas is circulating a letter opposing any attacks on 
>Iraq. While not a pacifist letter, it does clearly state that there will 
>be massive loss of life if we do this, that pretty much the rest of the 
>world opposes us doing this, that even our allies freely acknowledge that 
>there is no evidence that Iraq had anything to do with the September 11 
>bombing, and that taking military action against them would thus go well 
>beyond the original resolution authorizing use of force in Afghanistan.
>
>Please circulate this message to all your group and personal email 
>listservs, and urge your group members, colleagues or friends to call 
>their Representatives immediately (as in Monday and Tuesday) to speak 
>against the bombing of Iraq, and to urge them to sign on to Rep. Paul's 
>letter. While all members of Congress are important, the members of the 
>House International Relations Committee are particularly so, and they are 
>listed below.
