I have just read and signed the online petition: "A Petition for International Investigation Committee on Ariel = Sharon's crimes against humanity" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/warcrime/ As Dick Cheney travels the mid-east stiffening spines of US clients in the set-up for the next stage in the war against Islam, it particulary behooves decent people to take a stand as circumstances permit. The internet may afford an oportunity to challenge this elite, corporate, governance, especially its ability to make hegemonic war. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the US zionist colony is historically perhaps the single most strategic element in, and emblem of, the humiliation and subjugation of Islam. Opposed to this it's conceivable that an event of global direct democracy, as an internet petition, demanding, after the precedent of Slobodan Milosovic, this criminality be brought before a court of international justice, should it achieve a certain magnitude, could: expose the undemocratic, criminal nature of this historical and on-going policy, further the cause of justice for Palestine, and, greatly to be wished, obstruct the intention of again subjecting the Iraqi people to the holocaust of American missiles and bombs. Please visit the site, read the petition; and, if you agree, add your signature and circulate it to any other groups you can. bob
