Subject: Indict Saddam Hussein for War Crimes
Indict Saddam Hussein for War Crimes
Those who oppose war have an obligation to propose alternative paths to that of the Bush Administration. So far, the call for inspections has been an effective strategy, and the inspections should be strengthened and continued.
There is an additional powerful step that should be taken now: the indictment of Saddam Hussein.
Take action!
Most agree that Saddam Hussein is a cruel dictator who has committed horrific human rights violations against his own people and those of neighboring countries. International law provides a remedy for just this behavior, and it is not a preemptive invasion. Instead, the U.N. Security Council should establish a tribunal for crimes against humanity by the leaders of Iraq, and move immediately to indict Saddam and selected others of his Ba’ath Party. This should allow us to focus on the crimes of the leadership while protecting the lives of the innocent people of Iraq.
Urge President Bush to call upon the United Nations to establish a war-crimes tribunal to indict Saddam Hussein.
Take action!

I received this in my mailbox today :-
Signing the petition is an important first step, but in the face of an ever-closer and still unjustified war, we need to escalate our activity. That's why it's so important that every person who signed the emergency petition take the next step: joining the wave of candlelight vigils that will circle the globe this Sunday. This is going to be a massive global event. Already -- just since Tuesday -- 1,605 vigils have been scheduled in 77 countries. You can see what vigils have been scheduled in your area, and sign up for one, at:
