Thank you Lt. Ehren Watada for standing up for international, US and
military law by refusing to deploy to Iraq in support of the ongoing
illegal war and occupation.
From the preemptive invasion based on deception, to the deaths of tens
of thousands of Iraqi civilians and nearly 2,500 U.S. troops, to the
infamous Abu Ghraib torture cells and the recent Haditha massacre,
no more evidence is required of how very wrong this war is. In light of
these facts, we appreciate your decision to now follow your conscience.
We agree with you Lt. Watada, it is past time for US forces to leave Iraq.
We salute your true leadership in these dark times, and believe that we can all learn
something from your courage.
