President Bush Wants to Go It Alone In Post-War Iraq

Tell Congress to Properly Fund the Healing of Iraq
and Have the United Nations Manage Reconstruction

Even if the war in Iraq ends today, we would need to address the depth of grief
and misery that the people of Iraq confront - and will face indefinitely.

The supplemental budget bill delivered to Congress last week falls far short in
resolving the likely humanitarian crisis caused by the war.

It's essential that our nation stand behind its commitment to heal Iraq, to
make certain that the Iraqi people receive the food, medicine, and support that
they need. It's time for us to begin inspiring the world community with our
hearts, instead of alienating it with our guns.

That's why America's humanitarian and reconstruction work in Iraq must be
conducted with the full cooperation of the international community. We should
reaffirm our commitment to the United Nations by joining with it in the healing
process in Iraq.

Unfortunately, the Bush Administration is poised to conduct its humanitarian
efforts in Iraq with the same disastrous "go-it-alone" approach that it used in
the war. Tell Congress to 1) ensure that our nation partners fully with the
United Nations for all humanitarian work in Iraq, and 2) provide the
humanitarian resources needed to inspire awe even among our enemies.
