Concerning iraq, posting from yesterday

>From Voices in the Wilderness

---------

>Dear friends,
>
>Democrat Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was on the Jim Lehrer News Hour
>(PBS TV at 6 pm) tonight.  She was simply excellent!! She opposes the US
>bombing against Iraq, and the current US policy towards Iraq. She spoke
>with eloquence, and presented logical information as she faced two ardent
>(war mongering) Republicans. She began her talk by citing an Israeli
>military analyst that states that Iraq does not have any missiles that
>reach Israel, nor any biological weaponry to attack Iraq.  She also cited
>UNSCOM 1992 reports verifying the destruction of missile engines and
>missile launchers. 
>
>She cited the sources of this current crisis as the access to suspected
>sites, and, primarily - the composition of the UNSCOM teams.  When the two
>war mongerers continued to support bombing Iraq, she brought up the 1991
>military war and said [paraphrase here] that more than 100,000 people were
>killed during the 1991 bombing;  how many people are we going to kill now
>just to impose our view on who shall be in the UNSCOM inspection teams? 
>She stressed that the US gov't should listen to Kofi Annan and negotiate
>and be flexible! She is strongly oppose to the use of military force (and
>probably also opposed to the use of sanctions).
>
>Please contact her, and thank her for her brave stance with human rights. 
>She will vocalize her position further on the Congressional Floor, when
>she will further oppose any US bombing on Iraq.  Unfortunately, she is a
>minority in Congress, and thus she needs our assistance and support all
>the more.  Please let her know that you stand behind her.
