A CRY FOR PEACE FROM THE CHILDREN OF IRAQ We, the suffering children of Iraq ask for your solidarity in organizing a 2 minutes action for peace, calling on all fighters to put down their weapons and seek other, more peaceful, means in solving their differences. Today, the people of Iraq in their entirety are facing the most crucial moment in their recent history. Our whole nation is facing a grave crisis as regards to our national security, unity of the country, and safeguarding of our existence. Thousands of innocent men, women, and children have been killed and injured by these appalling terrorist attacks and sectarian infighting. More are dying every day and millions are at risk of starvation, and disease infestation. As of today, Hundreds of thousands are displaced refugees. Unexploded munitions remain scattered across the landscape; each bomb is a potential threat to an Iraqi child. According to figures issued by Johns Hopkins University 655,000 or 2.5% of the Iraqi population has perished since 2003. We are confident that you will see This as an enormous figure and we believe it certainly merits your consideration for this day of action. There are also 6.5 million Iraqis living outside the country, leaving behind their homes, their lands, and their families. The two minutes is not only a symbol of our children’s cry for peace. And a chance for us all to reflect and remember the victims and their families - but it's also a chance to show our solidarity that we will stand strong and united with the people of Iraq against terrorism and violence and the heartache it brings. We consider this to be an International examination of conscience and ask for your kind assistance in organizing this important, heart warming, and humanitarian event. The 1st of June will be an ideal day. We ask your help in generating support for our cause. It will be our dream to see every Church bells ringing, every mosque, every temple, every car horn, and everyone in this world give their support to those two minutes in one way or another. May you have peace, and we thank you in advance. For more info IraqsDay@aol.com
