[A-List] Fw: URGENT: Keep the Inspectors in Iraq

["LaSainte" <lasainte@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

> This is going out through Not In Our Name.  Please forward and act
> today!
> 
> Please write or call the Honorable Kofi Annan and various ambassadors to
> 
> the U.N and demand that the inspectors STAGE A REVOLT against any order
> or request from the United States/Bush Administration/Pentagon for them
> to get out of Iraq.
> 
> Can the US start dropping bombs with the inspectors still in Iraq and
> doing their duty as mandated by Sec. Res 1441...as *that* would be
> absolute political suicide for Bush. The inspection team is possibly our
> 
> last best hope, something which would carry the weight to actually stop
> the bombs from falling.

> Here's a sample letter:

> ---------------------------
> 
> Dear Honorable ______________________
> 
> Please ask your inspectors in Iraq to remain to do their duty as
> mandated by Sec. Res 1441.  Please announce that the US has no authority
> 
> to evict the inspectors because they are United Nations employees.
> Furthermore, you should not withdraw the inspectors from Iraq without an
> 
> order from the UN Security Council.
> 
> If the inspectors remain, the US cannot start bombing.  This is the last
> 
> chance we have before the US proceeds with its "Shock and Awe" invasion
> of Iraq.  If the US proceeds with its plan to pre-emptively strike Iraq
> in an aggressive war, the US is acting illegally and making an attempt
> to weaken the effectiveness of the United Nations. This sets a bad
> precedent, is damaging to the international situation, and will most
> likely provoke, not stop, future terrorist acts.
> 
> The inspectors are the last best hope for the world.
