Dear friends,

Right now a tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East. Thousands of innocent
civilians have been killed or wounded in the bombings in Lebanon, Palestine
and Israel and the death toll is rising every day. If the US, Syria or Iran
get involved, there is a chance of a catastrophic larger war. UN Secretary
General Kofi Annan has called for an immediate ceasefire and the deployment
of international troops to the Israel-Lebanon border, and been strongly
supported by almost every world leader. This is the best proposal yet to
stop the violence, but the US, the UK, and Israel have refused to accept it.
I have just signed a petition calling on US President Bush, UK Prime
Minister Blair, and Israeli Prime Minister Olmert to support Kofi Annan's
proposal. If millions of people join this call, and we advertise our views
in newspapers in the US, UK, and Israel, we can help pressure these leaders
to stop the fighting.

If we all get enough signatures on this in time for a UN Security Council
meeting this Thursday. Please sign and pass on the email to others (your
friends,family) to sign. Go to the link below and sign up now!
