Y. professor's letter to the editor
I stand firmly against the war in Iraq and any war of aggression.
I support scientific scrutiny of the events of 9/11/2001, a day which will live in infamy. I speak as a private citizen of the United States.
"In a democracy we can renounce war and proclaim peace. There is opportunity for dissent. Many have been speaking out and doing so emphatically. That is their privilege. That is their right, so long as they do so legally. ... We can give our opinions on the merits of the situation as we see it. ..." (LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley, LDS General Conference, April 6, 2003)
Wholeheartedly agreeing, I am exercising that right and that privilege. "A team of American and Iraqi public health researchers has estimated that 600,000 civilians have died in violence across Iraq since the 2003 American invasion" (New York Times, Oct. 11, 2006). I renounce these killings in the Middle Eastern wars.
Two structural engineering professors in Switzerland have recently spoken out as I have also done, declaring that explosives were with "utmost probability" responsible for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 on September 11. "WTC7 was with the utmost probability brought down by explosives," said one. (Tages-Anzeiger, Sept. 9, 2006)
