Hi Wolfgang,

Wow what a great article! How incredible! Sadly I could not get on to theAustralian web site....the international server is down. George Bush is aGodly man who reads the bible and prays for direction...his administrationhas not done much for refugees- given the state of affairs, however, they have done great things for the US as a whole.

Are you a Christian or are you Jewish? I am a Born Again Christian and my best friend is a Jewish girl who keeps Kosher.

Would you mind if I share your letter with Gary and Dan -my bosses? They would be touched by your words. Dan is the head of the Refugee Council USA.

Blessings!
Helen

Dear Mr. Wolfgang Schawaller,

I can't tell you how much your letter on Iraq soothed my aching heart. I have been not just perplexed, but deeply disturbed that so much of Europe is obsessed with thinking that America is a greater threat to the world than Saddam Hussein. Are France and Germany so in love with moral relativism. That they cannot make distinctions between good and evil or have they just made too many "deals with the devil" and can't back out. As an American who cherishes freedom and wishes all people to be free, I cannot understand "free" societies who are so willing to deny enslaved peoples a chance at freedom. What has happened to Europe, or has it been this way for a long time? It is so refreshing to hear you, a German, speak so eloquently about good and evil, and to understand the position of the US in trying to make the world free.

Not all problems should be solved with military action, but appeasement (the policy of France and Germany and much of the UN) can never bring about peace; it only prolongs the advent of war. I cannot understand how a continent that has been through two world wars, could have learned nothing about appeasement from that experience. Thank God, America did learn the lessons of those wars. We know we have to stop the tyrants before they do irreparable harm, and yet we are the ones that the Europeans think are the bad guys. I'm not the only American who doesn't understand the European attitude. In fact, right now, in American, French is a dirty word. There are many groups organizing boycotts of French goods, and several restaurants are offering freedom fries instead of French fries.
For some reason Americans are not as angry at the Germans. I guess we never expected too much from them. But there's a lot of anger at the French. Even my boss, who goes to France every year on vacation, said they won't go to France anymore and won't buy any more French perfume. Anyway, I'm so glad to hear from you, who has a clear head about such things. It's probably because you are such an international person that you can see things from a broader perspective.

May God bless you, and maybe I can forgive all of Europe because of you.

Love, Donna Howell

Wolfgang,

It's really nice to hear from you. I am fine and hope that you are doing well. Your letter is great. Recent events in Iraq are nothing other than astounding. It's a triumph over evil. But even here, when the war lasted more than one day, there was shrieking criticism against the president and the military. But what followed . . . amazing.

We did what we should have done 12 years ago. I have tremendous hope that we now have a president who will do what he promises to do, and won't change his mind when he is criticized. If so, then he may win the trust of the Palestinians and be able to secure real peace there. He may also be instrumental in the unification of Korea. It is a remarkable time. By the way, I went with my father and two sons to Normandy in 1999.
My father was a major in the U.S. Army and he landed on Utah beach in the morning of D-Day. He was the regimental beach control officer and was the first soldier of his regiment to hit the beach. He then had to stay on the beach until his entire regiment was ashore. He made it inland and was shot in the shoulder five days later. He was wounded three times in the war, but eventually made it to Germany.
My father always admired Germany and believed that Hitler was a madman who had victimized Germany. That's how we were taught. He also served in the Korean war, and lived in Japan. I was born there and my parents both loved that country too. Then I lived three years in Germany as a child. It's a great country. There really are no enemies.

My father died two years ago at the age of 88 and was buried with full military honors in Arlington cemetary.

Best wishes to you.

Dear Mr. Schawaller,

Thank you for your wonderful letter to President Bush. I'm Sure that our President will feel the support that you give and be comforted.I am gratified to know that there are some in Europe who see what we are doing in Iraq as noble and righteous. I believe that our government has the highest aspirations and hopes for a liberated Iraq. We are not a perfect example to the world in many respects, but in this endeavor America's motive is pure and selfless. I fully support our President and the coalition fighting for the liberation of Iraq.

The world will be a better place if Iraq can form a stable and lasting representative government. There are many Americans who feel that we are called as a nation to share with other nations all the freedoms and prosperity that we have enjoyed . Democracy and Capitalism are certainly not perfect systems but until something better comes along, we must promote and defend them. President Bush is very clear about his calling in life and responsibilities as the President of the United States Of America. Most of us Americans are very proud to have such a President!

Thank you again for your letter of encouragement to President Bush!

Sincerely, John Chisholm

God Bless America and the free world Nice letter Wolfgang.

Good to hear that there are still some freedom loving people in Europe, especially in France and Germany.
Many good people there, but some of the leaders are still living WWII or its after affects. Austria is a very beautiful country. I have visited there several times.

Long live peace and justice.

Interesting.

It should be noted, however, that our objections to going to war without a congressional declaration of war were constitutional, not a matter of policy. As Emmerich de Vattel set forth two centuries ago, there is a casus belli in humanitarian intervention. I invite you and your colleagues to visit our website and study its contents. We have strong objections in principle to the prosecution of Gary Lauck, not because we support his messages, but because of the importance of protecting the free speech rights of everyone, even those with unpopular views, and because we cannot allow nation-states to extend extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction onto the soil of other nations, especially for messages conveyed electronically, whether it be Germany onto the soil of the U.S. or vice versa.

These are principles that Germans have not established in their Basic Law, and they need to be. -- Jon

Lieber Wolfgang

Ich habe Ihren Brief an Praesident Bush mit Freude und grosser Erleichterung gelesen. Ich lebe in Alabama, USA, mit meinem Mann und drei Kindern. Vor ca. 20 Jahren sind wir in die USA uebergesiedelt, und inzwischen sind wir citizens geworden. Aber im Herzen bin ich noch immer Deutsche. Es machte mich traurig, dass die Deutschen so vergesslich sein koennten und so unverstaendig was Saddam betrifft Wenn ich Berichte darueber lese was er und sein Regime mit s einen Buergern machen, wird mir uebel - ich kann nicht darueber nachdenken. Das einzige was ich denken kann ist, Saddam und sein Regime so schnell wie moeglich aus dem Weg raeumen und den Irakis helfen eine gesunde Demokratie zu errichten.

Ihr Brief gibt mir Hoffnung. Vielen Dank.
Uebrigens, mein Vater und mein Bruder heissen beide auch Wofgang.

Wolfgang,

You deserve a seat in Germany's parliament, at least, or the ambassadorship of Germany to the United Nations, maybe German ambassador to the United States. I'm serious. People of your character are sorely needed at the highest echelons of international leadership. Keep on keeping on!
Your ministry is growing!

My views on the Iraq war

Dear all,

I once gave my opinion on WMD to the UR list end 2003.

For me it didn't really matter Iraq had WMD or not. I didn't care at all. For me Saddam Hussein was a mass murder, who was responsible for genocide killing his own Iraqi people. Hundreds of thousands killed!! Look up in any search engines and you will get correct numbers.

Prior to the Iraq invasion March 2003, Germany had election and the socialist government won in October 2002 again under Gerhard Schroeder SPD party.
Schroeder used the anti-war rhetoric cleverly against America within his election platform. We all know Schroeder won.
IMO, Schroeder is just an opportunist and he used it at the right time and place. On the other side the conservative opposition party with its longstanding friendship to America, who supported Pres. G Bush.
And this is my scenario: if the conservative party had won the German election in October of 2002 under the leadership of Edmond Stoiber CDU party, things would have gone totally different referring Iraq and the dictator Hussein, I believe.

If the conservative party had won, Edmund Stoiber would have confronted the French government strongly and persuade Pres. Jacques Chirac to support the US against Saddam Hussein.
Don't under estimate the Germans and conservative government.Germans can get tough if needed. With Stoiber and Chirac they would have persuaded Putin in Russia. Putin wouldn't had any chance to go against Germany and France stand.

Then the resolution in the UN waging war against Dictator Saddam Hussein and his army would have been no problem. Hussein who was a clever evil knew the disunity among member states within the UN.
He played well tricks with the UN to the very end. It started out with the German election, and Schroeder's socialist government won. Sometime I think it is time to say good bye to the many socialist governments in Europe. Toni Blair socialist government is an exception in Europe.

5th open letter to G. Bush / The capture of Saddam Hussein

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Wolfgang Schawaller [mailto:mailto:w.schaw@chello.at] Gesendet: Sonntag, 14. Dezember 2003 21:50 An: president@whitehouse.gov A German's Open Letter To George Bush: The capture of Saddam Hussein

Photo: Helping hands for the Iraqi youth
http://us.altnews.com.au/nuke/article.php?sid=6112&mode=thread&order=0

Vienna - 15 December, 2003

To the President of the United States of America, the Honorable George W. Bush

Dear Mr. President:

FINALLY, JUSTICE IS DONE! The dictator and tyrant Saddam Hussein is captured and being now a prisoner, after 8 month of intensive manhunt. You and the American people must feel now very relived after Saddam Hussein is in custody, so are the feelings of the free Iraqi people and the entire free world. It was the best that could happen to the freedom loving world before closing this year 2003.

I want to congratulate you, your administration, and especially the American man and woman in uniform, the allied forces, and the Iraqi people for bringing this evil to a final end. 20 years of Saddam Hussein´s regime of terror and the suffering of the Iraqi people is gone forever. With this important event now, your administration must speed up even more to build a free Iraq. I'm hoping more nations will be involved in doing this job quickly.
After you ended the war officially in April this year in Iraq, still many hundreds of Americans, allied forces and Iraqis got killed for hunting the man who was charged with the crime against his own people: atrocities!"
You did right when you gave orders to intervene militarily in Iraq and to destroy this evil Iraqi regime and to free the Iraqi people. It is amazing to me how much your country still sacrifices your American man and woman in uniform to protect the freedom loving world from tyrants. In the past month I also noticed how much again you were criticised for starting the war against the evil regime in Iraq, when countless Americans and other nationalities got killed during the past month by international terrorist groups operating in Iraq.

Now the world can see clearly that the human sacrifices offered in the Iraq conflict made it possible to capture the dictator Saddam Hussein. Also, as long as dictators remain in power the necessities of war will always be imminent.
May the capture of the late tyrant Saddam Hussein send a clear message to all still existing dictators in this world! Now, lets go with more determination to capture Bin Laden and bring him to justice too! I also believe the Middle East process for peace has now a much greater chance after the capture of Saddam Hussein.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2004!

God bless you and this great Nation of America.

Sincerely,
Wolfgang Schawaller
