 A Quote To Keep Subject: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Jackson on crime of aggressive war. Subject: NAZIS WERE HANGED FOR 'PRE-EMPTIVE WAR' "We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they started it. And we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into a trial of the causes of the war, for our position is that no grievances or policies will justify resort to aggressive war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy." --Supreme Court Justice Robert L. Jackson, Chief U.S. Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Tribunal, August 12, 1945.

As citizens of Germany and France etc. March against a U.S. British war in Iraq, I sincerely hope that they will consider lobbying their politicians and organizing demonstrations which urge the U.N. to demand weapons inspections in the United States. We the American people are doing everything we can to organize resistence-including the passing of so far 57 resolutions in different U.S. cities against a preemtive strike on Iraq or a unilateral war. Using the Charter of the U.N. the case must be made that America is now under the control of an autocrat, a tyrrant and a despot, and we fear, that our government has entered a place where the future of the world is at stake, and that the U.N. must stop this from going any further by redirecting its focus of weapons of mass destruction on those that the United States is currently making selling and storing, and demand accountability to the U.N. of the U.S. government.
Sincerely,
