War: not in my name

By Kellie Tranter - posted Thursday, 18 December 2008

When the children of future generations learn about the injustices, the inhumanity and in all likelihood the criminality of the “war against terror” they will ask who spoke out and who remained complicit by their silence. I, like many, if not most Australians, want it on the record that the “war” in Iraq was not in my name; that the “war” in Afghanistan is not in my name; and that the killing of well over a million fellow human beings is a cross that the Howard Government must bear, as must the Rudd Government and yourself if you fail to act.

I look forward to your considered reply.

Yours faithfully
