>The Petition
>
> We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of the United States of
America and of countries
> around the world, appeal to the President of The United States, George W.
Bush; to the
> NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson; to the President of the European
Union,
> Romano Prodi; and to all leaders internationally to use moderation and
restraint in responding
> to the recent terrorist attacks against the United States. We implore the
powers that be to
> use, wherever possible, international judicial institutions and
international human rights law to
> bring to justice those responsible for the attacks, rather than the
instruments of war, violence
> or destruction.
>
> Furthermore, we assert that the government of a nation must be presumed
separate and
> distinct from any terrorist group that may operate within its borders,
and therefore cannot be
> held unduly accountable for the latter's crimes. It follows that the
government of a particular
> nation should not be condemned for the recent attack without compelling
evidence of its
> cooperation and complicity with those individuals who actually committed
the crimes in
> question. 
>
> Innocent civilians living within any nation that may be found
responsible, in part or in full, for
> the crimes recently perpetrated against the United States, must not bear
any responsibility
> for the actions of their government, and must therefore be guaranteed
safety and immunity
> from any military or judicial action taken against the state in which
they reside. 
>
> Lastly and most emphatically, we demand that there be no recourse to
nuclear, chemical or
> biological weapons, or any weapons of indiscriminate destruction, and
feel that it is our
> inalienable human right to live in a world free of such arms.
