Heute dachte ich mir: Schreib mal einen Brief an den G.W.Bush wegen Ltd. Ehren Watada. Das war ein Vorschlag der Petitionsseite von ThankYouLt.org:

President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Bush,

The best course of action for the army, the nation and 1st Lt.
Ehren Watada is for the army to accept Lt. Watada's resignation
and give him an honorable or general discharge. Voters sent a
clear message in the November, 2006 elections that they oppose
the war in Iraq. War resisters who refuse to deploy to Iraq
should not be sentenced to prison for expressing their beliefs.
The Iraq war is illegal. It's time for the army to accept Lt.
Watada's resignation.

(...)

Sincerely,
Thomas Trueten

Ok. eine vorgefertigte Antwort. Ich hatte auch nicht ernsthaft daran geglaubt, daß G.W. der "engagiert an der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung des Landes, der Verteidigung der Freiheit sowie der grundlegendsten Wertvorstellungen der Nation kämpft..." sich um jedes Anliegen kümmern kann.
