"The world is better off with - "Saddam Hussein is no longer ruling Iraq. This administration's occupation of Iraq, after being supported by previous Republican administrations, indicate how far oil junkies will go to achieve their goals. Many brave soldiers and innocent Iraqis have and are continuing to lose their lives daily due to this administration's quest for oil and "One World Order". An administration that spent billions of dollars years before attacking Iraq with intent to attack at a given time; an administration: that did not have the foresight to educate their intelligence agencies and armed services the language, and culture of the country to be occupied. A president and commander of our armed forces, whose main goal was to avenge his father and a person who would like to appear as a Texas cowboy, rather than the diplomat that this country need as a leader. A war on foreign soil "cannot" be won without proper preparation and tools for such an adventure.This president never was and never will be qualified to lead this country. This president represent only a small segment of this country, the radical right, and will never be allowed to represent the mass of Americans and certainly not the world as a whole with its diverse population which includes, Muslins, Asians, Africans, all of which this administration treat as the enemy.These faults in Bush would make one think that the world would be better off without Bush.For my son and others sake, bring the troops home. It is already too late for too many.

What are the goals of this Administration?If defeating terrorism could be achieved by cutting off the funds from the terrorist than why wasn't this used long ago, rather than war? If diplomacy is the best practice, than why did we not use such before Iraq in particular? My opinion is that both tactics were not used due to this administration's pre-planning to occupy Iraq, believing they could first threaten the military and later buy them out, using the capitalist approach that works in this country to achieve political power, including buying re-elections. The bribery approach will not be successful where the masses of the people live by principals and morals that don't exist in this country to a great degree.There is a great problem in offering a country democracy and freedom, modeled on the United States who's majority population (minorities) cannot realize freedom in the year 2004.If Bush intended to sell human rights to the Iraqis, he should not have allowed those brave committed Black soldiers, who are in favor of "freedom and justice for all" to explain the rights not given Blacks in this country.This administration received support winning the election, supported by religious radicals, radical conservatives, and those such as Ashcroft who do not believe in interracial marriages, is against gays and violate the laws and regulations instituted by civil rights regulations and affirmative action. This administration's take on affirmative action is if it doesn't benefit Caucasians more than Blacks then it should not be enforced. Then they send my son and many other Blacks in harms way to protect this system for freedom and justice for white people.Because of Ashcroft's and this administration's stance on interracial dating and marriage, has allowed the predominately Caucasian law enforcement to profile interracial couples more than before. Their method of harassment is to cite and arrest on site. My position as a truck driver on the nation's highways will sooncome to an end due to such treatment when I travel the highway with my wife of 38 years, who has the appearance of being white. These law enforcement officers are allowed to act out their prejudice, knowing they have the full support of the judicial system, the Supreme Court and this administration in particular.How can we continue to allow our soldiers, Black or white, to die for what? It is obvious we are not going to be accepted by the Iraqi population in our attempt to occupy.We should pull out, ask the United Nation to take control, and realize that the Iraqi people have and will be better off without this administration, and its occupying force.Before we attempt another Iraq or Afghanistan, Congress should make a resolution that we must prepare our intelligent agencies, by hiring and training Arabic speaking personnel that can speak and understand the culture of the people they are attempting to assist. The racist attitude of our intelligenceagencies won’t allow the United States government to investigate criminals in this country. We are still supplementing those deficiencies by prosecuting and harassing sports figures, and pop artists who are Black in order to show that law enforcement, supported by the Bush regime intend to keep Blacks in their place. These acts are successful due to media support, who themselves are instrumental in the conspiracy.Congress must take action to force this president with such narrow views to curtail the occupation of Iraq. We need a policy where our concern should be that this country's military should only go to war for moral and righteous purposes. Now that we know, as we knew before the occupation that there was no immediate threat to this country, we are obligated to withdraw immediately, and implement diplomacy, rather than allowing our soldiers to continue to be killed: and maimed for a blunder made by this Texas cowboy that doesn’t have any idea how to right this gross mistake and crime against humanity.Now is the time to decide whether we are going to support chaos as we now have or peace and prosperity for not only Iraq, but the world, and this can only be achieved "without Bush" and this administration. We need to get rid of this entire administration, the sooner the better for "most" in the United States and the entire world.Sincerely,Walter EllisA truck driver who is suffering from this racist system, who needs his son who is in Iraq after serving in Afghanistan, to come home safely and assist in fighting for equal rights and opportunities for Blacks in this country that this administration is against.

President Bush’s intent to not seek a role for the UN in the reconstruction of Iraq is a grave mistake. All Americans and the world should seek to impeach Bush for his flagrant disregard for human life in this mission of conquest and his quest for oil. My son serves with the 82nd Airborne in Iraq. This administration has put his life and the lives of all who serve in jeopardy for fraudulent reasons. They used lies to sell this war to the public so that super-rich corporations could get even richer by securing multi-billion dollar contracts in Iraq even while our soldiers were engaged in active combat. A disproportionate number of our soldiers are minorities. They and their families will never benefit from the profits of war. If this administration continues to doll out contracts to special interests, 99% of the spoils will go to the upper 1% in corporate America at the expense of the American taxpayer.Congress, the American People, and the world should insist that a resolution be negotiated immediately at the UN allowing other nations to assist in the rebuilding of Iraq. In particular, Muslims should be at the forefront in helping to resolve problems in Muslim nations. UN oversight of the reconstruction would be a positive first step towards the goal of Iraqi freedom and self-determination.Prior to attempting to liberate Iraq, the administration needs to look at its own discriminatory policies enacted in the United States. Perhaps once the UN helps resolve the situation in Iraq, they should take charge of the Blacks in the US Army and have them come home to the United States to safeguard Human Rights for Blacks and minorities in this country and protect them from this Administration, From Mr. Ashcroft, and from a justice system that is so unjust.

Cindy Sheehan,
If you have an audience with Bush ask him in addition to the precious loss of life of your son, will he address my and millions of others concern regarding his anti-Black policies. Also ask how he as a deserter went in the reserves because he wasn’t willing to shed blood for this country. (The same reason I joined the Air Force because I didn’t want to shed my blood for this country)That he takes privileges and equal rights opportunities from minorities while simultaneously asking these same individuals to give their life for oil in order that this administration can continue to oppress, in the name of creating a democracy in Iraq. A country that doesn’t want and should not want the type of Democracy the Bush regime intend to provide.As of today, we should demand that each and every African American, Hispanic and any other soldier that doesn’t support the war in Iraq, be sent immediately home for other assignments. Rumsfield states that most of the troops support what we are doing in Iraq. That being the case we should have sufficient bodies left to die for a cause they believe justifies and allows the innocent to attempt to fulfill their aspirations which is limited in this country for minorities in particular. This is a manner in which Bush and Rumsfield can truthfully say our troops support his occupation of Iraq. Those who support remain; those who do not support come home now. In order to protect those brave troops who remain, we should ask Congress to give the necessary financial and all other support to include protective equipment in order that many others will not die in vain. These actions should take place immediately, prior to the impeachment of this regime.
