GLOBAL PETITION TO END INVASION OF IRAQ

A Global Petition to Call Upon the US-led Coalition to Withdraw from Iraq
With a newly elected US Congress, the world has a unique opportunity for a global public outcry to change the course of the war in Iraq. Today is the perfect time to act. To seize this opportunity, ads will be placed in US and UK papers with a new global petition calling upon the Coalition to accept a larger role for the international community and a phased withdrawal of all its troops from Iraq. The number of signatures will be published in the ads, so please add your name and make it count. This is our chance to make sure the pressure of global public opinion is being felt by Coalition governments as they rethink this war in Iraq, pressing them to accept a larger role for the international community and to withdraw their troops.
The Global Petition...
The pursuit of a Coalition military victory in Iraq is driving the country to ruin and a vicious civil war. Thousands of Iraqi civilians are dying every month. The Coalition must accept that there will be no military victory in Iraq, and that it long ago lost the legitimacy necessary to bring peace. We call upon the Coalition to accept a larger role for the international community in bringing peace and stability, and to implement a phased withdrawal of all Coalition troops from Iraq.
