A new underground railroad
Support these heroes!
Rising-Moore said some people think he has gone over the top, but he believes the Nuremberg principle applies. According to the Nuremberg principle, individuals have a responsibility to choose to follow the higher moral code when it conflicts with laws and orders.

“I would hope the American people would stand up against this fascist regime of George W. Bush, the un-elected military dictator of the United States of America,” he said.

“It is better to go through the proper channels to leave the military, but if one is willing to die rather than go through the process, than I recommend that they leave right away,” Rising-Moore wrote in e-mail communication. “I reiterate that a better solution to this option is to become a war resister within the military and tell your commanding officer that you do not wish to kill any more. It may take a few months, but eventually they will let you out. You may wish to also refuse to be assigned to Iraq because even if you are in a noncombatant role, you are still supporting this illegal and immoral war.”

Rising-Moore said that two weeks ago, 30 military personnel refused to report for duty in Iraq.

3. It gives a squeemish feeling using the word "Fascist" to

describe the actions of the Bush Administration--until you
read the Dictionary definition of "Fascism"--"a Political philosophy,
movement or regime that exalts nation and often race, and stands for a centralized autocratic often militarized government". There are tons
of Dictionaries out there--pick one and read it. This one is from
Webster's New Dictionary of the English Language.

Scary. Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle--Ashcroft--yikes!
