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.

We need a new plan and this plan sounds good. We need out. Iraq is a Country now and they need to settle their differences. America is staying in Iraq to have military bases forever and ever until the oil runs out. This is a CRIME.

Any plan to stop this war that turned into a breeding ground for terrorists and destroyed the country toward civil war will be good enough for me.

This war is unethical, based on a lie, and perpetuated by the people who are profiting from it. Is this what America has come to? I feel lucky to be an American, but certainly not proud of it. Support our troops by bringing them home and end this madness.

We must stop answering killing with killing. Our policy is no less ignorant than the retaliatory violence of third world nations. Diplomatic maneuvering is a must!! The only way to reduce the violence is through an agenda of intelligent communication and cooperation.

The war in Iraq ia a tragic quagmire. There are no good choices. Bringing our troops home is the best thing to do.

Whatever one's views on how we got to this point, we must have a plan moving forward. If President Bush has a better plan, outline it with equal specificity for public discussion. If not, use the Biden proposal.

Peace is always better than war and building up is better than bombing. Let's go for peace and understanding through out the world.

This plan would provide all of the warring parties with a peaceful place to live, apart from those who seek to do them harm. It is in the Iraqis' best interests, and would be a solution to this seemingly endless madness that pits Iraqi against Iraqi!
