The Libertarian Party has launched a new website to lobby against the war in Yugoslavia, and hopes to flood Congress with e-mails demanding an immediate end to American military involvement in that conflict. People who visit the website can sign a personalized e-mail petition against the war, which will be immediately sent to their U.S. Representative and two U.S. Senators.
Visitors can also forward an e-mail message about the site to friends.
We acknowledge the terrible human suffering of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, suffering which has been made much worse by our reckless attack on Yugoslavia. However, that tragedy does not justify American military intervention that puts our nation at risk. Every day that this undeclared war continues, it becomes more likely that ground troops will be deployed, and that we will find ourselves in another Vietnam-style quagmire. As the war escalates, it will become increasingly difficult for politicians to admit they made a mistake, end the war, and bring our troops home. If the American people don't speak out, the war will continue to escalate, ground troops will eventually be deployed, and American casualties will rise.
