Subject: US foreign policy

Dear Mr. President,

I would like to express my extreme disagreement with your foreign policy
on Iraq. 

Iraq is not the only country in violation of UN resolutions: Israel is one
example, but even the US has been condemned for the Helms-Burton law. Yet
we have not taken punitive action against Israel or changed our laws to
respect international law.

It appears that the entire conflict is another fallback to the times when
US foreign policy was dominated by securing cheap natural resources (oil
in this case), and expand American influence around the world.

I urge you not to kill any more innocent civilians in Iraq or elsewhere. I
also urge you to work on lifting those sanctions that cause such harm to
the Iraqi people.

Finally, I urge you to curtail US weapons exports that lead to situations
like this. It has been the western world that has supplied many of the
so-called "Rogue Nations" with weapons of mass destruction or the means to
produce them.

Best wishes,

Jan Heine
Seattle, WA
