Martin appeasement speech

Well, of course, Mr. Martin can't speak out. And Mr. Bush is determined not to listen to criticism anyway. So I wrote a speech for Mr. Martin at the Summit of the Americas as a way of telling the whole alternative but true story about Iraq. Got it published on al-Jazeerah.info and sent it to him in the pasted on message.

If you see merit, I think Mr. Martin's (and other nations gov'ts) serious problem of appeasement should be debateable news and I think my crude first attempt to use Mr. Martin to tell the story could be done way better - Paul and friends talking at Davos, for example. Could make great guerilla theatre but I'm way out in the boonies - know anybody who might be interested?

Know anybody in Davos who would print and distribute? Just kiddin.

Anyway, thanks for your time,

Bill Gibsons, B.C.

Mr. Martin,

Day by day new evidence emerges that the war in Iraq was not a needed, legitimate war of defense, but a premeditated and cynical 'old colonial war' undertaken by a Bush Administration that couldn't resist the temptation of seizing Iraq for a bundle of strategic reasons.

Since the war I've been sending you op-eds and editorials that have focused on this evidence of illegal war hoping that you would speak out. Silence is appeasement and what is needed most is for a friend of the US to tell the true story of Iraq, to get all the cards on the table, to present all the evidence to the only court that matters: the court of American public opinion.

But you can't and I understand the powerful pressure you are under to improve relations with a Bush Administration for obvious economic reasons.

So I wrote the best speech you never gave: "The Appeasement Speech Paul Martin Should Have Made (But Didn't) at the Summit of the Americas." You present the evidence and Mr. Bush has to listen. I hope to distribute it widely in Canada, the States, and to activists in the rest of the world as an example of how and why leaders must speak out about the Bush Administration's illegal war.

It's too long (even without General Moseley, Paul Krugman, former White House counsel John Dean and many other key evidence providers) and I don't claim at all to have Rich Little talents, but I think it tells the story from what we know up to now. What do you think Mr. Martin?
