War with Iraq will not make us safe. Preparation for this war has already eroded civil liberties by curbing freedom of speech and promoting racial profiling by the INS and other athorities; diverted funding from needed economic and social programs; and shown the United States to be a greater threat to world peace than those the administration has targeted. Please add your voice to the millions of world citizens who say:
