Prominent U.S. Physicists Send Letter to President Bush

3. Does Giggles even know what a physicist is?
:eyes: :shrug:

It's great that experts are getting involved and trying to reason with him, but let's face it - he's beyond reason. :-(

12. The thirteen letter writers are VERY prominent in the physics community
Thanks for bringing the petition to my attention, it now has an additional US physicist as a signatory (not that BushCo will notice or care).
