Letter sent to the Australian & West Australian newspapers:
Even as an agnostic I pray that another Gulf war can be avoided. If the inevitable should commence, then I hope that the one god of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths will render all their weapons useless thereby forcing both sides to choose between peace and hand-to-hand combat. It is too easy to press a button without facing the resulting deaths and devastation.
The oil-hungry and war-mongering aggressors, the USA, need a swift, harsh kick up the rear and to be sent home in shame. An embarrassing defeat is the only way to curb their desire for world domination.
If Australia brainlessly decides to follow Bush's lead (against public opinion), then we ultimately deserve the same fate. After all, we get the government that we deserve and ultimately pay the price for our mistakes.
My heart goes out to the many dedicated services personnel merely following the orders of the cowards running the show from the security of the desks in Canberra. I look forward to your safe return before the first shot is fired.
To the families that may lose loved ones, my sympathy for your loss, but please do not blame Iraq or Islam. Full responsibility will belong to the hawks in Australia, UK and the USA, most of whom have never seen military action, let alone have a conscience to keep them awake at night.
