Subject: War on Iraq

War in Iraq is getting closer every day. Your voice is
needed before it becomes a disaster for Iraq's people.
Take action now to prevent this crisis:

Oxfam is enabling you to email Prime Minister Tony Blair at:

The people of Iraq are still suffering the effects of
bombing during the 1991 Gulf War. Twelve years of
economic sanctions, and their own government's policies,
have made things worse.

Nearly two-thirds of Iraqis - more than 15 million people -
depend entirely on food rations distributed by their government.
Any attack, particularly if it destroys roads and bridges,
could stop the food reaching those people. They would go
hungry.

When Oxfam aid workers first entered Iraq at the end of the
1991 Gulf War, they found a public health disaster. There
was sewage in the streets because air strikes had destroyed
the electricity supplies which powered sanitation and water
systems. Twelve years later, much of that damage has still
not been repaired. Similar attacks now could make things
even worse.

Those who propose war have not yet shown that any threat
from Iraq is so imminent that it justifies the risk of so
much human suffering. For more information see:

TAKE ACTION NOW:
- Email Prime Minister Tony Blair at:
http://oxfam.org.uk/iraqactnow

- Forward this email to 15 or more friends, family or colleagues
