the resolution states 'shall consider the matter immediately.' The General

Assembly can meet within 24 hours to consider such a matter, and can

recommend collective measures to U.N. members, including the use of armed

forces to 'maintain or restore international peace and security.\"

The letter:

Today, Wednesday, an emergency session of the Security Council has been

called to discuss the situation in Iraq.

I am American. I am ashamed of what my country is doing... We have a rogue

government, not elected, but appointed, which has determined to \"rule\" the

world. Its misuse of power is blatant and frankly very un-American. I urge

you... beseech you to please vote for peace and invoke resolution 377. This

rogue regime cannot survive in the stark light of truth. Please shine it!

Please stand for all the human souls who want to believe in the triumph of

good over evil...for surely this war being waged in Iraq is not \"good\".

Hussein can be removed by the force of truth if the weight of the United

Nations is applied to enforce the disarmament and exposes his crimes in the

International Criminal Court. I am ashamed that we too may be guilty of

Crimes Against Humanity. Please don't let it continue without your vote of

condemnation.

Thank you,

The Press Release:

UN Security Council Sets Emergency Debate on Iraq

Tue March 25, 2003 03:24 PM ET By Irwin Arieff

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council agreed on Tuesday to

hold an emergency debate on Iraq but Arab envoys were undecided whether to

push a resolution demanding an immediate end to the U.S.-led war.

The debate was set for Wednesday at 3 p.m. and council diplomats said all 191

U.N. members would be invited to speak rather than just the council's 15

member-nations.

Arab diplomats said they feared a resolution calling for an immediate

withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq could be defeated and thereby serve to

legitimize the U.S.-British invasion after the fact.

Syrian U.N. Ambassador Mikhail Wehbe, who on Monday said the Arab group at

the United Nations intended to seek adoption of a resolution demanding an end

to the U.S.-led invasion, said on Tuesday that no decision had yet been made

on a resolution.

\"No, not yet,\" Wehbe said when asked whether Arab envoys had decided to press

for a resolution.

He said the emergency council debate would give U.N. members a chance \"to

raise their voices.\"

\"After that, we will see what we can do in the light of the discussions,\"

Wehbe said.

Another Arab envoy, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, \"We are holding

off on putting forward a draft resolution. We must first see what is

possible.\"

The Arab group of 22 countries formally requested an urgent Security Council

debate on Monday evening after Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo

adopted a declaration demanding an immediate end to the Iraq war and the

withdrawal of all foreign forces.

The group's request was delivered to the council by Iraqi U.N. ambassador

Mohammed Aldouri, this month's Arab group president.

The U.N. group of 166 non-aligned nations, currently led by Malaysia, also

backed an emergency session, and routine council approval of the request had

been widely expected.

But a resolution demanding an end to the U.S.-led attack on Iraq would appear

to have no chance of approval. Both the United States and Britain have veto

power in the council.

In addition, six of the council's 15 members refused to take sides earlier

this month when the United States and Britain pushed for a resolution giving

Iraq an ultimatum to quickly show its commitment to disarmament or face war.

***************************************************************************

If the vote doesn't pass in the Security Council the General Assembly will be

able to pass it by a very large majority, which is what happened in 1956 when

France and England had gone to \"war\" with Egypt over the Suez Canal. After

the General Assembly voted they pulled out within a matter of two weeks. The

Bush Admin does not want this vote to happen and has threatened countries

with various \"punnishments\".
