I have received several antiwar email petitions in the past few days so I figured I would turn the text around and create my own version of a petition asking people to endorse UN Resolution 1441 by force.

Here is the petition that I wrote and would like to get comments or just send it to everyone you know.

A coalition of countries led by the United States and England is about to enforce UN Resolution 1441 by force if necessary for non compliance of the Security Council demands. UN Resolution 1441 requires that Iraq destroy it's stocks of biological and chemical weapons, dismantle it's nuclear weapons programs and eliminate missiles with a range greater then 150 kilometers (93 miles).

On December 7, 2002 the Government of Iraq provided what they claimed was a "Full and Complete Declaration" of Iraqi weapons programs. This declaration has come short of the truth and has many omissions and errors. The previous UN Inspections teams which had been expelled from Iraq in 1998 had documented weapons that are not accounted for in this declaration, including weaponized Anthrax, botulinum, VX chemical agents, growth media and 30,000 chemical and biological munitions.

The United Nations is now collecting signatures for those who favor the enforcement of UN Resolution 1441, by force if necessary, to bring Iraq into compliance with the demands that it provide full and complete disclosure of it's weapons programs and the destruction of said weapons.

If you are in favor of enforcing UN Resolution 1441 please copy this email into a new one, add your name to the end and send it to everyone you know. If you receive the list with more then 600 names please send a copy to the United Nations Information Center at:

unicwash@unicwash.org.

Thank you.
