To Iraq Protesters

One of the problems with recent protests is that Saddam has apparently got the idea that the protesters support him and his brutal regime. So have most conservative commentators, so you can see that that's an easy mistake to make. In fact most Protestors message to Saddam is simple, "Disarm now, work with the inspectors, cooperate fully so we can avert this war." And the message he recieves is "Do what ever you want, we'll follow you blindly."

Well in order to avert Saddam recieving that particular message, Joe Conason suggests contacting him, and telling him your feelings. "The Iraqi dictator probably needs to be further disabused of any delusions of support by citizens around the world. Please write to him care of the Iraqi Mission to the United Nations (MissionOfIraq@nyc.rr.com) and the Iraq News Agency (ina@uruklink.net)."

My advice to you? Write those news agencies and tell Saddam to wise up. My advice to Saddam? Wise up.
