Dear Signers of the NoIraqAttack Letter-
>
> My friend Josh Cohen (a professor in Political Science at MIT) has
> raised
> much of the cash needed for a full-page antiwar ad he plans to run in
> the
> NYT this week. The entire text of the ad is this:
>
> Against the War
> Our government is proposing a war against Iraq in the name of American
> national security. But no compelling evidence has been offered of an
> imminent threat to our security that would justify the use of military
> force. A war with Iraq will be a war of choice, not necessity. We
> condemn
> the Iraqi regime for its gross and persistent violations of the human
> rights of the Iraqi and Kurdish peoples, and support efforts by the
> Iraqi
> opposition to create a democratic, multiethnic and multireligious
> Iraq. But
> we believe that the decision to wage war at this time is morally
> unacceptable, and urge our government not to make it.
>
>
> If you are willing to sign the ad, you can do so at
> http://cows.ctsg.com/
>
> And PLEASE send the web address to as many people as you can. They need
> signatures by day's end on Monday (5 PM).
>
> Finally, Josh has received donations of $1,000 apiece from 20 people,
> but
> is still $10K short for the ad. If you can make a contribution of
> $1,000
> pleasse email Josh at jcohen@MIT.EDU. Dont send much smaller amounts;
> he
> does not have the staff to deal with this.
>
> Thanks!
