To the attention of the Foreign Ministers of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

Dear Sirs.

During the first 8 weeks of the Afghanistan war, October 2001 to December 2001, the US killed over 3767 civilians in Afghanistan by Classical Mass Destruction Weapons, like - Cluster Bombs - Thermobaric (15,000 pounds) bombs - B-52 "Mat" bombings - Cruise Missiles, equipped with 1000 pounds (=458 kg) Shrapnell Warheads. - Depleted Uranium (=DU) bombs. And the civilian killings are still going on by the US, to this date.

Observe: these are all Classical Mass Destruction Weapons, they are NOT Precision Guided Weapons.

Observe also: During the Iraqi War in 1990, the "International Coalition" bombed Iraq with Depleted Uranium Bombs (300 tons DU, in 1 million bombs and ammunition). As a result, several thousand Iraqi children are now lying and waiting for death, in Iraqi hospitals, due to Cancer, Hodkins Leukemia, Mutations, Immunosupression etc...

Therefore arises the following question: Why are the US and UK allowed to kill civilians using Classical Mass Destruction Weapons? What happened to the principles of "Human Rights", "Freedom" and "Democracy"?

Dear Ministers, we appeal to you, that you do everything, at your hands, to prevent the attack against Iraq, planned by the US and UK. There is already a great hurry, because, to our knowledge, the attack is planned to begin in November-December 2002.

As we all know, Mr. Bush has offered Russia 8 Billion US Dollars, NOT to veto against the coming new UN Iraq Resolution in UNSC, designed specifically by the US and UK to allow them to attack Iraq.

Dear Ministers, the lives of Iraqi children are NOT a business matter to be resolved with money!

It is well-known, that the real reason for the US and UK attack against Iraq is oil.

Iraq has the SECOND richest oil reserves in the world (Source: Oil & GasJournal/USA).

An equally well-known fact is that the US has to import 70% of its oil from outside countries, mostly from Arab countries, due to the shrinkage of domestic oil production in the US (Source: Oil & Gas Journal/USA).

Dear Sirs, the Iraqi oil belongs to Iraqi children: their future depends on it.

The Iraqi oil DOES NOT belong to the US, Western Financial circuits, or US oil companies.

With best regards,

Dr. Stig Froberg/Physicist, Finland
