Dear friends, Right now a tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East. Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed or wounded in the bombings in Lebanon, Palestine and Israel and the death toll is rising every day. If the US, Syria or Iran get involved, there is a chance of a catastrophic larger war. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called for an immediate ceasefire and the deployment of international troops to the Israel-Lebanon border, and been strongly supported by almost every world leader. This is the best proposal yet to stop the violence, but the US, the UK, and Israel have refused to accept it. I have just signed a petition calling on US President Bush, UK Prime Minister Blair, and Israeli Prime Minister Olmert to support Kofi Annan's proposal. If millions of people join this call, and we advertise our views in newspapers in the US, UK, and Israel, we can help pressure these leaders to stop the fighting. Go to the link below and sign up now! http://www.ceasefirecampaign.org With hope,

Hope you can pass it on xx

I appreciate your efforts, and I really do hope that you succeed. But you're assuming that Bush cares what most Americans think. Unfortunately, his behavior speaks to the contrary. Sorry for the cynicism.

they had a cease fire for a long time, all it did was give hezbollah a foothold in southern lebanon to launch their terrorist attacks. let israel wipe them out.

Not to sound cynical at all, but what we really need is a website called...

Stophatingeachother.com or
jewsandarabsforpeace.com or
whatgoodisaceasefireifyouwanttokilljews.luv

Ceasefire won't solve anything. Then again, neither does war.

Do you really think war is going to stop Hezbollah or do you think it might actually make them stronger??? Israel and the US are reaffirming the extremist propganda machine. This is Lebanon's 9/11.
