Mr. Bush, Exercise Sober Restraint in Responding

If you feel that Bush needs to show restraint in responding to the events of last Tuesday, head to the Actforchange Site to send the President a letter reflecting the following: “We condemn without limit the cowardly terrorist attacks which claimed thousands of innocent victims on September 11. No cause can possibly justify such actions. “But what happens now is up to the United States. These criminals deserve to be identified, tracked down, and brought to justice, along with any backers than can be clearly identified. “But already there are calls for war against unnamed enemies, for funding of missile defense systems that do not work, and for imposing limits on hard earned civil liberties. Deep and ugly prejudice against Arab-Americans has reared. “Congress has passed resolutions essentially declaring war against any and all targets to be chosen by the President, now and in the future. This has given Mr. Bush the authorization to take any military action he chooses. This makes the future choices of Mr. Bush all the more important.”
