A web page dedicated to those U.S. military people who have at one point refused orders to this war in Iraq. You may see it: here<\/a>

. It includes a short summary of each case of every publicly known resister, with links to their websites, if available. It was the least that one could do for those who courageously refused illegal, immoral orders.

I have not seen another page on the web that lists all these people together. Forward this web link to all.

An attempt was made to list all who refused to serve in this war, and the list includes 6 such individuals. Hundreds more have done so quietly. We can expect this list of public resisters to grow exponentially as Kerry or Bush, if as can be expected, expands the war next year, and possibly reintroduces the draft.

What we need is great public effort, with the general public as strong as these refusers, to stop the U.S. government from expanding the war, and to force the U.S. to pull its troops out of Iraq.

In resistance,

Tom Joad<\/a>

Our apologies good friends

for the fracture of good order...

….the soldiers who kill and die

for the wrong reasons for no reason at all

because they were so ordered by the authorities

of that public order which is in effect

a massive institutionalized disorder

We say: Killing is disorder

life and gentleness and community and unselfishness

is the only order we recognize
