>  He writes:
>  "I just spoke to the French Mission to the UN, urging them as a U.S.
>  citizen to vote against any resolution authorizing war against
>Iraq--rather
>  than abstaining, which apparently is what the Bush administration is
>  expecting them to do. The person who answered the phone asked if I
>would
>  put that in writing--and gave me the mission's email address.
>
>  "I found this encouraging--suggesting that at least some people in
>the
>  mission are arguing for casting a veto, and would like to have
>evidence of
>  grassroots U.S. support for such a move. If you would like to
>provide
>  such evidence, send a quick note to france-presse at un.int
>
>  "You don't have to explain at length WHY they should veto--they
>would like
>  to veto. Just tell them that you think they ought to veto too.
>
>  One might, however, underscore the need to "save succeeding
>generations from
>  the scourge of war."
>  Finally, Miller urges everyone who receives a copy of this email,
>"Please
>  pass this on! This may be the last best chance of preventing war."

>I also just received the following, but was unable to find a way to send out
>on that website.
>An amazing hopeful idea....if true...
>Germany and France are planning to disarm Iraq with a peaceful invasion of
>UN soldiers who will safeguard the effective inspections. The operation is
>called Mirage. Iraq will become a UN protectorate. Sanctions will be
>enforced. If a regime change comes about through Iraq's internal opposition
>it will be accepted but it is not the aim of the operation. Please support
>the German-French initiative by writing to: Mr. Joshka Fischer, Foreign
>Minister of Germany, www.auswaertiges-amt.de/www/de/kontakt. Thanks Irene
