An inter-faith peace organization, FOR, is collecting signatures of those who would like to ask the International Criminal Court to indict George W. Bush as a war criminal. The U.S. would not recognize such an indictment were it to occur. Read about the many useles legal options (Courtesy Jon Bonne). Here's the text they ask people to sign:
With heavy hearts, with faith-based convictions, and with shock at recent events, we, citizens of the United States of America, respectfully request that consideration be given to indicting our own President, George W. Bush, as a war criminal, for unleashing a basically unprovoked war upon a populace that has already suffered immeasurably from over a decade of economic sanctions. We do not make this request lightly, or unmindful of possible consequences, but out of deep, though varied, spiritual faiths, we believe it is time for people and organizational entities of conscience to take the strongest possible stand against easy resort to imposing the horrors of modern warfare upon innocent people.I find this interesting given President Bush's very public faith. One of the things they mention on their site is that virtually every religious organization out there is opposed to the war. The mainstream media rarely mentions this. Instead anti-war protestors are portrayed as a small ragtag group of ex-hippies. On the contrary, from the Pope down to average preachers, religious authorities are saying: this is wrong.
