"When our elected leaders lack the stomach and courage to even discuss the war in Iraq, hiding behind filibusters and non-binding resolutions, it is up to the people and the press of the United States to take on the mantle of leadership. Amongst the millions of people in this country that call for an end to the Iraq war, Lieutenant Ehren Watada has emerged as a truly important voice, a principled courageous soldier who represents all that is honorable and patriotic in those that serve this country. A man with enough conviction and moral clarity to risk being jailed to express his opposition to the illegality of this war. Will this voice be heard? Or will we willfully ignore this tremendously significant moment? Will this be front page news or another example of the American press¹s shameful and embarrassing pandering to the architects of the Iraq war? We ignore Lieutenant Watada¹s dignity and and principled heroic stance at our own peril." --Tim Robbins Actor/Activist |
