Dear Mr. Irfan:
Thank you for contacting me
regarding the Arabic Linguist With Secret Clearance For Iraq job. Your
offer of $ 150,000.00 - $ 158,000.00 is obviously tempting, but
unfortunately I must decline. For one thing, I do not enjoy
participating in the torture of other human beings. I also believe that
the Army was established to defend the US, not to attack other
countries. We are supposed to have a Defense Department, not an Offense
Department. So taking part in wars of aggression that are not declared
by the Congress of the United States is worse than illegal: it is
wrong.
Judging from the kind of
salary you
are offering, I must conclude that it is desperation time now for
the
war mongers at the Pentagon. Did the Pentagon suddenly realize that it
needs some basic mode of communication with the Iraqis other than the
bullets and the bombs? For most tax payers in the US, taxes are not
meant to be squandered on useless wars.
I would like to offer you
now a job
that is enormously rewarding on the personal level, but does not pay
any money. The title is "Peace Advocate." If you are
interested in this
position, please let me know. Also, please feel free to forward my
information to any friends and colleagues at Calnet Inc. Here are the
job requirements:
Job Description
Provide
operational peace advocacy for the global peace movement. Work to bring
the US into the world court in order to make it more difficult for our
leaders to commit war crimes.
Required skills:
1. Must have the ability to
speak truth to power.
2. Must keep an open mind
and an open heart.
3. Must have the strength
not to resort to violence.
4. Must have the ability to
question his/her superiors.
5. Must not have security
clearance.
6. IQ must be substantially
higher than Iraq war recruits.
How about joining the peace
movement and those of us who seek law, order and sanity?
I am eager for your reply.
