Letter to Nancy Pelosi

Dear Rep. Pelosi;

As a Canadian I have been distressed by the United States' imperial ventures in Afghanistan and Iraq for quite some time, particularly the disaster in Iraq. Afghanistan called for a police action, not a war, and Iraq was completely illegal and criminal.

I have watched as my government stood silent as the American government slid into torture, illegal wars and surveillance of its own people, and nobody could do anything because of the out-of-touch Republican majority.

Then the Democracts got elected to a majority of congress and I thought the tables had turned finally. But now I realize that you are not willing to make the tough decision to turn off the funding taps until your out of control President is forced to come to heel and respect the wishes of the American people (and the desires of many other people around the world).

I would never want to interfere in the politics of another nation, but I just have to make my severe disappointment with you known.

Regards,
David Crowe
