Washington, Sep 10, 2002 - We owe it to the memories of those who lost their lives September 11th to remember, to reflect, and bring justice to those responsible.

We also have a similar obligation not to use the events of 9/11, and the great loss which so many endured, as a pretext for launching a war against Iraq.

Iraq was not responsible for 9/11.

Iraq has not been linked to 9/11.

Yet here we are on the anniversary of that grim day, and the Administration is attempting to reframe 9/11 by beating the drum for war against a nation not connected to 9/11.

America has had enough violence in the past year. Our country should not have to suffer violence to the truth, which brings us into an unjustified war.

Let us heal our nation. Let us heal our nation with truth and justice. That is the American way.
