Dear Dear Good Person,

I sent this to Mr Blair today. If his office has to open a million =
antiwar letters perhaps he will listen. Please write and send your own =
letter to Mr Blair or use mine with any adaptations you like. And =
forward it your friends. I don't know what else to do.

Love Jasper

Dear Mr Blair,

=20

I write to you because it's the only way I can think of to try to make =
you listen. I do not want Britain to attack Iraq. I think it is wrong =
for us to make war against a country that has not attacked us or any =
other countries since 1990, and that poses no immediate threat to the =
world.=20

Some reasons why I think we should not attack Iraq:

=B7         Because you have not made a convincing case for war.

  a.. Killing many thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians will not =
make the world more peaceful. It is morally wrong to kill these people.
=20

  a.. There seems to be no coherent plan as to what will happen once =
Iraq is occupied. Afghanistan sets a bad precedent for trying to create =
a democratic nation by force.
=20

  a.. Attacking Iraq is unlikely to make us safer from terrorism. It =
seems more likely to make people hate America and Britain, and ready to =
support or become terrorists.
=20

  a.. There is no evidence to suggest that Iraq has provided or will =
provide weapons of mass destruction to terrorists.
=20

  a.. There is no obvious or urgent need to disarm Iraq by force. It is =
more risky to invade a country than to use diplomacy to disarm it.
=20

  a.. I think a priority of our government should be to protect the =
people of Britain from terrorists, for example Al Qaeda, and that war =
against Iraq will distract from this purpose.
=20

I hope you will listen to the people who elected you to represent them. =
The million who marched through London probably have many different =
reasons for why they are against the invasion of Iraq. But in our hearts =
we just feel that is the wrong thing to do. Please don't attack Iraq in =
my name.

=20

Yours sincerely
