Iraq War Prompts Third Resignation by US Diplomat
(Ms.news, March 28, 2003)
US diplomat Mary Wright, deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Ulan Bator, Mongolia, submitted her letter of resignation last week, marking the third time a veteran US Foreign Service official has stepped down in protest of the Bush administration�s policy on Iraq. . . . in a letter to Secretary of State Colin Powell�[Wright] wrote, "I believe the Administration�s policies are making the world a more dangerous, not a safer, place. I feel obligated morally and professionally to set out my very deep and firm concerns on these policies and to resign from government service as I cannot defend or implement them." . . . Wright�s departure was preceded by resignations from John Brady Kiesling, political counselor at the US Embassy in Athens, in February and John H. Brown, former cultural attach� at the US Embassy in Moscow, earlier this month. . . . Brown charged, "The president�s disregard for views in other nations, borne out by his neglect of public diplomacy, is giving birth to an anti-American century."
