There are men who have criminal records, and lack the human and moral values Violate human rights conventions. But still appointed as leaders of countries to rule millions of people.

I am addressing this message to the people of America, who were born free. Free to say “No” Free to make their own words into action. To every noble American who appreciate the value of a human life. Those people who were not asked by Bush whether they agree for him to enter Iraq by force, and support Israeli, in their occupation and killing of the Palestinians and Lebanese civilians. A nine month year old baby in Lebanon was cut in half by the Israeli weapons during the recent hitting of Lebanon by the most developed Israeli weapons, what would you do if only this incident happened to one of your children?

I am asking you people to say “enough is enough Bush” and put together all your strength and power of the people, which no power is, like, and drop him out of the White House. Such a criminal is not eligible to rule a great country that has acquired in its science and technology, It is time to tell the White house to change its ancient policies towards the Middle East, the whole world is changing and I am sure that America would find its benefits when being peaceful towards the Middle East. I am sure there are thousands who can do better for America and for the foreign policy than Bush, it is such a “shame” for you people to let this man rule you. You have experienced death and fear during September 11th, which was a result to your President policy towards the Middle East. Imagine those people in Iraq, Palestine, and Lebanon who are facing the feeling of fear, insecurity and children seeing their parents shot before their eyes and a child is shot before his mother's eyes. Does God gives you the right to live and gives us death. Unless you drop Bush out of the White House, and change the policy of your White House, we all Arabs will consider all Americans as participants with The Bush government in the killing of our brothers, mothers, fathers, children and in the destruction of our lands, houses, infrastructure, you will find suddenly this war has reached your country, I am asking you to do some thing before it is too late.
