>U.S. Diplomat Resigns Over Iraq War Plans
>
>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. diplomat resigned from government service on 
>Monday in protest of President Bush (news - web sites)'s preparations to 
>attack Iraq (news - web sites), the second to do so in less than a month.
>John H. Brown, who joined the U.S. diplomatic corps in 1981 and served in 
>London, Prague, Krakow, Kiev, Belgrade and Moscow, said in a letter to 
>Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) made available to the 
>media: "I cannot in good conscience support President Bush's war plans 
>against Iraq.
>"Throughout the globe the United States is becoming associated with the 
>unjustified use of force. The president's disregard for views in other 
>nations, borne out by his neglect of public diplomacy, is giving birth to 
>an anti-American century," the diplomat added.
>Brown has recently been attached to the Institute for the Study of 
>Diplomacy at Georgetown University in Washington. Immediately before that, 
>he was cultural attache at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
>A senior U.S. diplomat based in Athens, political counselor John Brady 
>Kiesling, 45, resigned in protest at the Bush administration's policy on 
>Iraq last month.
