Senator,

I was glad to see your recent letter to President Bush asking for his criteria for success in Iraq and plans to pull out, but you fell far short of what is necessary to end this illegal war that is doing far more to incite hatred of the United States than just about anything we have done before.

You know and probably knew going into this that this war had nothing to do with WMD, terrorism, or the after the fact argument about spreading democracy.

You also know that the reason for war is identical to motivation for their recent energy bill:

As the world's oil supply begins to decline, they wanted to make sure American companies control the spigot.

They don’t even want the oil to help our economy, but so the oil companies can squeeze every last drop of profit out of that declining supply.

You must say this bluntly, at the beginning of your speeches and in the headlines of your press releases until it elbows out any remaining discussion of the embarrassing lies that led us to war.

If you do not address this directly, Bush will cook up a phony war against Iran and very likely Venezuela, whose fairly elected president they tried to overthrow in a coup and recall.

Senator, the American people need at least one party that represents us rather than treat us like suckers for their scams and cannon fodder for their wars. Please do your job.
