It has become clear that Blackwater USA has become a threat to any hope for peace in Iraq. How can Iraqi citizens possibly feel safe when a paramilitary organization, which seems to answer to no one, is running lose on their streets.
There is enough documented evidence to prove that Blackwater's tactics as well as their attitude toward the Iraqi people and culture are inappropriate, to say the very least.
The recent incident involving Blackwater contractors opening fire in a predominantly Sunni neighbourhood, killing eight and wounding 13 civilians is the straw that breaks the camels back.
Does the US Government really want to run the risk of Blackwater USA starting WW III?
It's time for the US Congress to demand that the Department of State and the Department of Defense cancel all contracts with Blackwater USA and order them to depart Iraq immediately.
If you agree please sign this petition. It's time to end Blackwater's terror for profit.

The War for Profit.
It becomes increasingly obvious, sadly, that despite your truly great and cheer-leading work, not a damn thing changes in reality. Love your work, that of Juan Cole, Tom Dispatch, and lots of others, but we must recognise that Dubya and his corporate string pullers are able to ignore everything, line the pockets of themselves and buddies (e.g. Tony Blair) and we're not even a studio audience. Never mind, your work and that of all the others does bring light and light relief to us all.
Favourite recent factoid, China and Japan are now funding more than 50% of your national deficit, but Dubya and co. keep complaining about faulty toys! Something reminiscent of Rome Burning here.
Thank goodness we can see that not all, or even many, Americans are with him, but democracy! Question mark.
It Does Get Pretty Discouraging At Times
But as Martin Luther King Jr. said: "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
These days it seems that our friends are awfully silent
