This Holy Season, the remembrance of our dear Saviour, Jesus of Nazareth, the Ultimate Peace Maker, is a very appropriate time for the release of these "people of peace". To You dear Jesus, we offer our prayers.
To execute those who work to help you is to offend your God and turn world sympathy against you. Many are working to free Iraq from the American occupiers and you can see how cruel actions against the peacemakers would quench their passion for your liberation.
I oppose the war on the Iraqi people and desire immediate withdrawal of American armies and corporations--it will help free Iraqis to release these peacemakers.
I am the First Congressional District of GA lobbying coordinator for efforts to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq. We are working hard to stop the war. Taking and killing hostages is counterproductive in that it only serves to "prove" the claims of U.S. warmakers that "violence is the only language which the terrorists understand." Freeing these peacemakers will undermine the warmakers; killing them would strengthen the warmakers.
