No to the war against
Iraq
Friends,
The anguish and the impotence are
seized upon me again. I can not leave the opportunity to express my deep worry
concerning to the unfolding of men and armaments carried out in USA and Great
Britain in order to attack Iraq. It also makes sad the loss of answer of
the remainder of the other Western countries (although some of them timidly
oppose to the possibility of war) by stopping this brutal aggression that has
been preparing, day by day, like a great media show what will become worse, no
doubt, the pain and the necessity of people from Iraq, who are already enough
hit by the blockade and the use of atomic weapons in the previous conflict
(uranium of low tenor in the missiles).
I believe that it is
absolutely unacceptable that in the new millennium the most civilized and
richest countries of the world wanted to solve their differences against the
poorest countries appealing to the violence and to the war, omitting the
Foundation Letter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
Besides, it is intolerable for any sensibility that the
USA give to themselves the right of exercising "preventive attacks," against
any country, when and where they thinks it is necessary. Better say, attacks
against any countries, if not against those which cannot defend
themselves.Since it results evident that the USA will never attack France
or Japan based on so trivial arguments.
The excuse of that
Iraq possesses armament of massive destruction (that nobody could not have
confirmed) is not signifcant, for there are other countries which
possess it, no doubts, and they have not received any pression, as, for
example, USA, Russia, North Korea, France, Great Britain, Pakistan or India.
On the other hand, USA count on political and diplomatic mechanisms to
solve the international problems without using any tank.
I am
conscious that great intellectual groups throughout the world must be
mobilized and have to make the possible to stop this criminal madness. But,
also, I am conscious of the lacking of answer of networking, of the mail
- artists net, or our collective group of creators at distance (some
individual intents confirm what I have said). Parodying Epicuro: what is mail
art for, if not to the service of
men?
