John H.
Brown, officer of the service diplomatic, joined his colleague John Brady Kiesling and
present his resignation to the Secretary of State Colin Powell. The diplomat explains that
president Bush "failed " to justify the war which he wants to carry out against
Iraq.
Graduate of Princeton, John H. Brown joined the State Department in 1981 and was sent in
station in London, Prague, Cracow, Kiev, Belgrade and, more recently, in Moscow. Upper
limb of the service of the Foreign Affairs since 1997, it concentrated his diplomatic work
on the press and the culture. For this reason, it was associated with the Institute for
the study of the diplomacy of the Georgetown university, where it was affected since
August 2001." Mister the Secretary of State, I join my colleague John Brady
Kiesling by subjecting my resignation of the Service of the Foreign Affairs (effective as
of now) because I would not know, in good conscience, to support the projects of war of
president Bush against Iraq. The president failed à : to explain clearly why our
valorous soldiers, men and women, should be currently ready to sacrifice their life in a
war against Irak ; to highlight all the implications of this war, including the width
of the civil victims in particular innocentes ; to indicate the economic costs of
this war for the Americans ordinaires ; to clarify how the war could remove
the world from the terreur ; to seriously take into account the international public
opinion against the war ;
Everywhere through the sphere, the United States is in way to be associated with the
unjustified use of the force. The negligence of the president towards the opinions of the
other nations, confirmed by its contempt of the diplomacy, is giving rise to one century
anti-American. I had joined the Ministry for Foreign Affairs because
I like our country. With all my respect, Mister the Secretary of State, I put a term at
this vocation, with the heavy cur, but for the same reasons for which I had embraced
this career.
Sincerely, John H. Brown Officer of service diplomatic
