The Democrats in Congress wring their hands, gnash their teeth and wail that there was nothing they could do but cave in and vote to continue funding the war in Iraq. After all, that crafty George W. Bush had maneuvered them into a corner and they didn't have the votes to override his veto. Horse manure.

An experienced British officer serving in Iraq has written to the BBC describing the invasion as "illegal, immoral and unwinnable" which, he says, is "the overwhelming feeling of many of my peers". In a letter to the BBC's Newsnight and Medialens.org he accuses the media's "embedded coverage with the US Army" of failing to question "the intentions and continuing effects of the US-led invasion and occupation".

We've asked Congress to end the occupation of Iraq and seen no progress. Iraq's Parliament, on the other hand, is taking steps to legally require that the occupation end. A note from you, as an American, to the Iraqi Embassy in Washington, D.C., might help move the Iraqi government where Congress dares not go.

As a resident of the United States, I am contacting you in a spirit of friendship and sorrow. I apologize for the behavior of my government and its insistence on occupying your nation. I would like to urge your government to do what the majority of the American people and the majority of the Iraqi people want done, but what the U.S. government is unwilling to do: end the occupation. If you will take this step and send our military men and women home to their families, I will commit to doing everything I can to assist in the reconstruction of Iraq by Iraqis once the occupation is over.
