Submitted on behalf of 20 members of the Veterans For Peace Chapter 161. The United States must not fire a bullet, launch a missile or drop a bomb in Iraq. To do so would be an act of war. To do so not only would be illegal, it would be tragically counterproductive for Iraqi and U.S. citizens.By what stretch of imagination can our military actions in Iraq accomplish now that eight years of war, 160,000 U.S. troops and $1.5 trillion failed to accomplish? Our invasion and occupation, preceded by a decade of debilitating sanctions, have left Iraq in a much worse condition than it had been. Iraqis are not stupid; they know that. Our military action ultimately would be welcomed by no one and would incite further sectarian violence.
