Artists and Writers Oppose Expanding War On Terrorism
Sign Now
Artists have both the ability and the moral obligation to combat
deceit and distortion. It is the ability to illuminate even
difficult truths that defines an artist.
Truth has been one of the casualties of the "War on Terrorism".
Assassinations, bombings, and chemical and biological attacks,
whether perpetrated by individuals or states, are crimes. They
should be dealt with by the rule of law, and not by the use of
military force. With this in mind, we condemn the US "War on
Terrorism" and call upon both the US government and the
"anti-terrorist" coalition to end this war, which benefits no-one but
those who are making money from it, and which is sowing the seeds of
future terrorism and violence.
The "War on Terrorism" is now being used to justify further US
aggression against the people of Iraq. Such aggression would lead to
a high civilian and military death toll and a further deterioration
of the situation in the Middle East. [then bullet points:]
* We call upon the United States and the United Nations to lift all
economic sanctions on Iraq.
* We call upon the United States and its allies to abandon
preparations for war against Iraq.
* We call upon the United States, Iraq, and all other countries to
refrain from developing and deploying weapons of mass destruction.
* We call upon Iraq to allow the resumption of weapons inspections,
and upon the United States to allow these weapons inspectors to
operate independently rather than as a projection of US interests.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he c

Only the terrorists, who will go into hiding if war is declared, will win in the end. They'll wait and pick up where they left off after the smoke has cleared.

I am an artist and a writer, and I fully support the war on terrorism. Those tyrants were able to run around, murder and torture people at their every whim. They had, and still have to be stopped.

I found out awhile ago that most artists are douche bags and this just confirms my beliefs. I wonder if you "artists" would have signed a stupid petition like this during WW2 ? You people are so lucky that there are people with some common
