Dear Mr. Nader,

As millions of Americans agree that all U.S. troops must be withdrawn from Iraq, immediately and unconditionally, you have refused to take up a very simple demand: Bring All The Troops Home Now.

We desperately need someone in this election who stands on principle.

You can provide that lead.

What we do not need is one more candidate who wants to see more U.S. soldiers and more Iraqis die in this war for oil and empire. Every day U.S. troops stay in Iraq, that is exactly what is happening.

You have said U.S. troops must stay until UN troops take over.

Why?

Are you afraid that too many people will abandon Kerry and vote for you?

Are you afraid your immigrant-hating allies in the Reform Party will kick you off their ballot lines? People are already wondering how you can ally yourself with this pack of disgusting ultra-conservative racist scum.

Do you agree with the equally racist empire builders in Washington who run this government that Iraqis are too primitive and bloodthirsty to manage their own lives and their own country? Who on earth could be more bloodthirsty and primitive that the managers of the U.S. Empire? Any why do you so love the UN, that killed Iraqis by the hundreds of thousands for over a decade with their sanctions.

The notion that chaos will break out in Iraq if the U.S. troops pack up and go home right now is silly nonsense. There is chaos in Iraq now, and it is the U.S. invasion that has brought it and keeps feeding it.

No one can with certainty what kind of government the Iraqis will choose.

What can be said with certainty is that without U.S. troops in Iraq, no more U.S. soldiers will be killed by Iraqis, and no more Iraqis will be killed by U.S. troops.

Enough is enough.

Please join the millions who want no more of this war.

Not another day, not another dime, not another life.

Take up the banner for common decency and announce now that you are for the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq!
