Dear Respected Mr. Tony Benn,
Last week I had the good fortune to come across the BBC “Questiontime”
program where I had the opportunity to see and hear you. I did not think that
there were any politicians left in Britain who were still sincere and truthful.
May God bless you for your boldness in saying the truth. May God also bless you
with an extended life.
Truth liberates, while on the other hand, deception, lies and falsehood cause
hatred, injustices and wars. I hope that you did read comments that were posted
on the BBC Website by viewers following the program. As you may have seen, the
majority of people applauded your views. I personally believe that if
politicians could be understanding and sincere as you are, there would be no
wars and no suffering around the world.
It seems that politicians and governments of today have no moral principles or
standards. Greed for power and wealth motivates nations to commit great
atrocities against humanity. It is sad that the strong among them do get away
with these injustices without being accountable to anyone. The United Nations
Charter and the Geneva Conventions have no meaning to them.
I, like you, believe that the atrocities being committed by America and Britain
in Afghanistan cannot be justified by any international law. The judicial
procedure should have been followed through the international bodies like the
U.N.O. to bring the terrorists to justice. I, like many, view this war as pure
aggression that has nothing to do with “fighting terrorism” or “self
defense”. I see no difference between the terrorists who attacked America and
the ones attacking Afghanistan now, except that the later are terrorists in the
form governments.
It is now becoming more and more clearer to all that the main objective of this
war was to remove the government of the Taleban. Everyone knows that this is
purely an adventure to exploit and control oil and gas resources in and around
Afghanistan. Usama bin Laden and the Taleban were a great obstacle to achieving
these objectives. This fact is confirmed by America’s own government official
documents dating back to 1998: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/oil.html.
http://commdocs.house.gov/committees/intlrel/hfa48119.000/hfa48119_0.HTM
- Therefore Usama had to be exterminated and the Taleban government also had to
be destroyed and instead replaced with a dictatorship whose brutal regime would
be protected and maintained by Britain and America in exchange for cheap oil.
Is it not true that this has been the American policy in several oil producing
countries? Is it not true that Usama bin Laden was at one time the best friend
of America but ceased to be one when he started protesting against American
exploitation of Muslim resources and against American military bases which
protect their brutal regimes?
It must also be noted that plans to attack Afghanistan were already made well
before Sept.11th. See: http://www.11september.20m.com
. The events of 11 Sept. were just good luck for them as it provided a very
convenient excuse to attack Afghanistan and action had to be carried out quickly
while people were still under shock. As a result, the efforts of identifying the
real culprits who committed the atrocities in America and bringing them to
justice through International Courts of Law, were abandoned.
Over the past several years, America has committed various crimes against
humanity to maintain her economy. There are various criminal charges against
America pending to be answered in the International Courts of Law. It is sad
that America refuses to face these charges. Being the most powerful nation, no
one has the courage to bring her to justice. Please do read these charges: http://www.deoxy.org/wc/warcrime.htm

Please kindly take a look at the photographs in the attached files. I obtained
them from www.al-jazeera.com.
I was moved to tears when I saw them. These are only a few of the many
horrifying images that I have been seeing on Al Jazeera Satellite TV recently.
To Britain and America, this is just “collateral damage” for a “just and
good cause”. I cannot believe that human beings can be so callous as to commit
such horrendous crimes against the weakest, all for money and yet get away with
them. I understand that Britain and America have banned such news and images to
be published on their TV stations and Newspapers. Where has “freedom of
speech” “free media” and “democracy” gone? Should the public not
see these atrocities that are committed in their name?
FOR MORE HORRIFYING IMAGES OF CHILDREN KILLED BY BRITISH & U.S.A. BOMBS,
PLEASE VISIT: http://www.inin.net
Newspapers today (25th October, 2001) have reported that representatives of the
UNO have confirmed that U.S.A. has been dropping Cluster Bombs on civilian
populations in Afghanistan. They also confirmed that a hospital was bombed where
over a hundred civilians were killed and a Bus carrying civilians was also
bombed and several civilians died. These claims by the Taleban were denied by
USA until the U.N.O. independent representatives confirmed the facts. The
Taleban have also claimed that U.S.A. has been using chemical and biological
weapons.
ALTHOUGH U.S.A. IS DENYING THE CLAIMS, CONSIDERING AMERICAN HISTORY OF WAR
CRIMES, THIS FACT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY AT ALL. SERIOUS EFFORTS MUST BE
MADE TO EXPOSE AND STOP THIS INHUMANITY.
IT MUST BE NOTED THAT AMERICA DID SAY: “WE WILL SMOKE THEM OUT OF THEIR
CAVES”. HOW DO THEY PROPOSE TO DO THIS EXCEPT BY CHEMICAL WEAPONS? IT MUST
ALSO BE NOTED THAT U.S.A. IS QUITE CAPABLE TO HAVE CREATED THE ANTHRAX SCARE IN
ORDER TO PREPARE THE MINDS OF PEOPLE FOR JUSTIFICATION TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS
IN AFGHANISTAN.
IT MUST BE NOTED THAT DURING THE GULF WAR IN 1991, the United States committed
similar crimes in blatant violation of the UN Charter and The Geneva Conventions
- http://www.deoxy.org/wc/wc-proto.htm.
America did use prohibited weapons capable of mass destruction and inflicting
indiscriminate death and unnecessary suffering against both military and
civilian targets.
Among the known illegal weapons and illegal uses of weapons employed by the
United States are the following:
· fuel air explosives capable of widespread incineration and
death;
· napalm;
· cluster and anti-personnel fragmentation bombs; and
· "superbombs," 2.5 ton devices, intended for
assassination of government leaders.
Fuel air explosives were used against troops-in-place, civilian areas, oil
fields and fleeing civilians and soldiers on two stretches of highway between
Kuwait and Iraq. Included in fuel air weapons used was the BLU-82, a
15,000-pound device capable of incinerating everything within hundreds of yards.
Decent and God fearing people of Britain and America are requested in the name
of God to stop their governments committing these atrocities. They must be
stopped now before it is too late.
God bless you. May He also protect me and save me from all harm by enemies of
Truth; who silence those who speak out against their brutal policies and
injustices.
