11:02a - Write to UN
This is the only thing I can think of anymore. We cannot stand idly by, and it is apparent the US government is not listening to us. I am drafting a letter to the UN security council requesting that the United States be required to disarm. The current leadership of the United States have made it clear that they no longer consider the United States an equal member of the international community as represented by the UN. They have made it clear that they do not regard themselves as answerable to the UN or to anyone. This situation is dangerous and cannot be allowed to continue. If any other nation were to attack UN member states without the consent of the UN security council, that nation would face sanctions, revoking of membership status, and any number of harsh penalties. For the sake of peace in the world, the leadership of the United States must be convinced that they are an equal, not superior, member of the international community and that they are not exempt from international law. The world must stand firm and united in the face of this threat. If economic sanctions are not a viable option, I urge individual UN member states to boycott US-made goods by any means possible. The United States must be made aware that, without the cooperation and friendship of the nations of the world, they face hard times indeed. Buying the friendship of other nations through commerce and aid packages is no longer enough, nor is coercing it through show of force. For the sake of peace, we cannot afford to suffer one nation to have so much power when its leaders have shown their capacity for abusing it.
When I draft the final version of the letter I will post it here, so that those who agree with me can join me in this plea for peace. To those who can, I urge a boycott of all the US goods and services you can possibly do without. For more moderate action, see Boycott Bush.
