>Dear Signers of the NoIraqAttack Letter-
>
>My friend Josh Cohen (a professor in Political Science at MIT) has raised
>much of the cash needed for a full-page antiwar ad he plans to run in the
>NYT this week. The entire text of the ad is this:
>
>Against the War
>Our government is proposing a war against Iraq in the name of American
>national security. But no compelling evidence has been offered of an
>imminent threat to our security that would justify the use of military
>force. A war with Iraq will be a war of choice, not necessity. We condemn
>the Iraqi regime for its gross and persistent violations of the human
>rights of the Iraqi and Kurdish peoples, and support efforts by the Iraqi
>opposition to create a democratic, multiethnic and multireligious Iraq. But
>we believe that the decision to wage war at this time is morally
>unacceptable, and urge our government not to make it.
>
>
>If you are willing to sign the ad, you can do so at  http://cows.ctsg.com/
>
>And PLEASE send the web address to as many people as you can. They need
>signatures by day's end on Monday (5 PM).
>
>Finally, Josh has received donations of $1,000 apiece from 20 people, but
>is still $10K short for the ad. If you can make a contribution of $1,000
>pleasse email Josh at  jcohen at MIT.EDU. Dont send much smaller amounts; he
>does not have the staff to deal with this.
>
>Thanks!
