a letter to american people
from italy with love



We European citizens (Italians, Germans and Britons) want to talk to all American citizens. On 2 November 2004 you will face a choice between two candidates and two parties, but more than that. You have a chance to take a giant stride forward for the good of all humanity. You can choose between the future and the past, between reason and ignorance between true compassion and mere ideology. This is your moment you must not falter. We love your country; we love the American people and the American culture. We share your values: freedom, democracy, equal rights for all human beings. We fear that our world, a world that we all share together, is in danger. 9/11 has shown us that a group of criminals is determined to destroy democracy, but what has followed, the so called War on Terror, has enormously worsened the situation, rather than improving it. As the entire world knows the truth is that the so called War on Terror is a war for oil against innocent people. In Iraq, the US bombings have killed thousands of civilians, including women and children. The terrorists have not been destroyed by the War on Terror launched by President Bush. On the contrary, the Army of Terror is growing and growing and growing. For example when the horrifying images of U.S. soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners taken in Abu Ghraib prison circulated in the press, many people in Europe were shocked and disgusted. And what has happened in the minds of millions of young Muslim persons is that their humiliation and their hatred has become fuel for another twenty years of growing violence.

Please stop this war. Only you can do it. President Bush is a professional liar. He lied when he said that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Saddam Hussein was a creepy dictator (once upon a time supported by American money), but he did not pose any threat to the American people. Bush lied again when he said that his mission was accomplished. Thousand of Americans have died since then. And President Bush is impudently lying when he says that the world is a safer place. This is absolutely false. The world is a hundred times more unsafe as shows what' s happened in Spain, Russia, Turkey... Please stop this war. Only you can do it. The army of terrorists is ten times bigger than it was two years ago, and the candidates to explosive suicide are thousands, and will soon be millions. Every day western people are killed, kidnapped, aggressed. And this is the unavoidable consequence of the daily slaughter of civilians provoked by US bombs, for a war not against Terror but for the Iraqi Oil. Please stop this war. Only you can do it. This war is going to cost more than Vietnam did, for the West, and for the American people. Vietnam was a limited problem. Once defeated, the Americans could go back home, and were left in peace. This time it's going to be much worse. If the Americans do not go away now, the plague will expand everywhere, becoming a global civil war. And the terror will swallow our future, our children and our lives. Please stop this war. Only you can do it. Please don't vote for George W. Bush

and a reaction



a reply from America

Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. There is SO much MISINFORMATION that is it hard to disphere fact from fiction. I am a young, professional female concerned American and Global citizen and I am voting for George W. Bush on November 2, 2004.

The war in Iraq will not stop with Kerry as president. If you think the world is in trouble with Bush as president then that is only a SMALL fortaste of the TROUBLE the world will see with Kerry as president. Before critizing Bush, please investigate Kerry and see what his values are.

I pray that my fellow Americans will join me to vote for Bush and you and the rest of the world will realize that he is not a bad president.

sorry,when iīm so direct now but i canīt understand how people can be so damned stupid - everybody who has an access to internet, television or is just reading the newspaper sometimes, will know what mistakes bush had made in the past and is still making now....!

he will never be able to win the WAR of TERROR - maybe he is able to take over the control of IRAQ but he wont be able to stop the terrorism. the so named terrorist will operate from other countries then and this war will expand and become a never ending story.
bush and the american gouvernment just have to recognize and admit that theyīve made a lot of mistakes for expl. the wrong information of the mass destruction weapons - the MAIN REASON for the war in IRAQ...!

it cant go on like that - otherwise sometime in the near futur we will blow our world up because of such stupid mistakes and missunderstandings....

maybe kerry isnt a very good president too but he is for 100% percent the better choice than bush.....!!!!!!!!!!!

DONīT VOTE BUSH AND STOP THE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

It is difficult to really predict wth any certainty whether a challenger to the current President will in fact be better or worse than the incumbent.

Beware of "Anybody but Bush" voters.

Personally, I think we need more specific direction and a more specific stance than that right now.
