STOP WWIII, STOP BUSH'S BLITZKRIEG AND BLOODBATH IN IRAQ.

"PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE" THE MOTHER OF ALL WAR CRIMES,
SAID NUREMBERG TRIBUNAL

Seeing that all efforts to petition the U.S., U.K. and U.N. to preserve the 
peace in Iraq are exhausted, and

In order to preserve a free, peaceful and multipolar world from the path of 
destruction, to create a space for conflict resolution in place of 
confrontation, and,

To warn against a great calamity, as a ruthless militarist cabal stands 
poised to seize the energy resources of the entire planet, to secure its 
absolute hegemony;

We the undersigned

- call on the European powers, especially the governments of France, 
Germany and the Russian Federation, in coordination with the government of 
Iraq, to provide for their contingent of peacekeeping troops to depart for 
Iraq within hours, take steps to secure its borders and airspace against 
attack, and provide protection for the work of U.N. inspectors there - and 
not to watch idly as Rome burns,

- call on the aforementioned powers and all member nations of the U.N., to 
take the earliest opportunity to ratify this peacekeeping action in the 
U.N. General Assembly, under the auspices of UN Resolution 377, Uniting for 
Peace, created to prevent aggression by any permanent member of the 
Security Council: as in the crisis now facing the world community -

- note, notwithstanding, that Europe and Iraq, acting out of enlightened 
self-interest as free nations, have a greater right and potential to uphold 
world peace and welfare without waiting on the vested interests of the 
U.S., U.K. or U.N.;

- call once more on the US-UK governments to observe the principles of UN 
Resolution 290:

"To settle international disputes by peaceful means and to co-operate in 
supporting United Nations efforts to resolve outstanding problems,"

- call on the United Nations membership to implement the provisions of UN 
Resolution 1325, Women, Peace, and Security; to engage womankind in the 
process to pacify warring mankind, and to protect women and children, the 
victims who are hit hardest by the scourge of war,

- call the US-UK leaders to mind of the consequences, for themselves and 
for their countrymen, both civilian and military, of defying the precedent 
set by the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, which found for the death penalty 
with this verdict:

"To initiate a war of aggression is the supreme international crime, 
differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the 
accumulated evil of the whole."
