Support the Peace Plan That Brings Iraq Troops Home!
Target: George W. Bush, PresidentSponsored by: American Respect
Since our invasion of Iraq acts of terrorism around the world have increased by over 100%. No number of troops can solve this problem.
But Senator Joesph Biden, along with Leslie Gelb, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, have proposed a five-point plan that would bring peace to region without deploying more U.S. troops.
The only way to hold Iraq together and create the conditions that allow our armed forces to responsibly withdraw is to give Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds incentives to pursue their interests peacefully and to forge a sustainable political settlement. To accomplish this, President Bush should endorse the Biden-Gelb five-point plan, which would:
TELL PRESIDENT BUSH TO SUPPORT SENATOR BIDEN'S FIVE-POINT PLAN FOR PEACE, NOT THE DEPLOYMENT OF MORE TROOPS TO IRAQ!

To accomplish this, President Bush should endorse the Biden-Gelb five-point plan, which would:
- Maintain a unified Iraq by decentralizing it in to regions. A central government would be left in charge of common interests.
- Guarantee Sunnis a proportionate share of oil revenue so that each group has an incentive to maximize oil production, making oil the glue that binds the country together.
- Create a massive jobs program while increasing reconstruction aid -- especially from the oil-rich Gulf states -- but tying it to the protection of minority rights.
- Hold an international conference that would produce a regional nonaggression pact and create a Contact Group to enforce regional commitments.
- Begin the phased redeployment of U.S. forces and withdraw most of them by the end of 2007.

This war is a mistake from the start. The best thing to do is bring out people home, and let the Iraqis govern their own country. Help them if needed with guidance and humanitarian aid, but leave.

From the time of George Washington the reposnsibility of the commander in chief has been to use trrops wisely. The republican party/administration has failed to do this. We need to return to traditional American values of using our troops prudently Senator Biden's plan does this.

No more troops. No more money. We should not have gone to Iraq in the first place. It's immoral, illegal, and stupid. Bring the troops over there home. Don't even think of sending more.

Senator Biden has been extremely thoughtful all along. His plan is our best chance for somewhat repairing mess. Honorable withdrawal, admitting mistakes, and, yes - apologizing -is now necessary.
