<DIV><FONT size=2>Hello all you coasties,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> I learned from
David Barsamian's talk on Free Speech TV that that there are 3 US
Aircraft Carriers positioned off the coast of Iran in the Persian Gulf. The same
rhetoric used before the invasion of Iraq, he said, is being used to demonize
Iran. The targetting of Iran by this or the next administration would
be an impeachable offense and a violation of the Neuremberg Principle, now part
of the U.S.C</FONT><FONT size=2>onstitution, a treaty approved by
Congress and is part of the U.S. Army Field Manual of July
18, 1956 in section 511. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> It states what constitutes (a) Crimes
against peace, (i.) planning, preparation, initiation or waging a war of
agression in violation of international treaties, agreements and
assurances.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I urge you to 1) write to the president and Congress,
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and 2( urge them to withdraw the three aircraft
carriers from the Persian Gulf. Stop gunboat diplomacy. Iran is a signatory to
the Non-proliferation Treaty. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3. On International Peace Day in Mendocino at the Gallery
Bookshop there will be a poetry reading. This would be a good opportunity for
signs to inform the public where the press does not. Please come.</FONT></DIV>
