Do NOT sign this petition of Asali and Albright
Can anything good emerge from a woman who is on record as saying half a million Iraqi children's deaths are "worth it."? Can anything good emerge from a man who thinks that he can do away with an an inalienable right, the right to return to one's homes and lands, in order to ensure that Jews maintain a majority?

2005 Campaign for American Leadership in the Middle East
About CALME
After too many years of devastating violence, recent developments in the Middle East have created an unprecedented opportunity to help Israelis and Palestinians achieve a negotiated two state settlement. United States’ national security interests are best served by stable, secure, and democratic states of Israel and Palestine. The Campaign for American Leadership in the Middle East (CALME) seeks to demonstrate the American public’s strong support for this end, and for the leadership of President Bush in helping the parties reach it.
The initial signatories of the Campaign’s letter to President Bush ask all similarly minded Americans to join them, to show the President and the Congress the breadth and depth of the support for U.S. efforts to resolve the conflict. The Campaign’s leaders include former diplomats, politicians and military officers, business executives, religious leaders, and others.
CALME Initial Signatories
Mr. S. Daniel Abraham, Chairman, Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation
Mr. James B. Adler, Managing Partner, Adler Associates; and Board of Governors, American Jewish Committee

The Honorable Madeleine K. Albright, former Secretary of State
