TO: MP/Minister/etc.
Without taking sides we the undersigned strongly urge The British Government to withdraw militarily from Afghanistan, and to immediately stop the bombing of that country.
On the day of the terrorist bombing 11th September, a tragedy was reported in the UK that is 5 million children suffer from asthma presumably the highest yet? I think we should be remembering those who suffer by torture, oppression, war, and terrorism. These are on going. Perhaps we should also consider all who's life, or liberty is taken before their time.
The bombing is for oil supply surely, but vehicle fumes lead to asthma, the bombing may therefore result in a double tragedy. It would be better to help the people such as of Afghanistan and leave the oil in the ground.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."
Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963 bomb1afg.doc, A.Lohmann, 24-11-01
