Abstract
The following letter, drafted following the example of the senior British diplomats' letter to British prime minister Tony Blair (Doc. A2), was signed by eighty retired U.S. diplomats, including former ambassadors to Albania, Bangladesh, Egypt, El Salvador, Greece, Guyana, India, Kuwait, Lebanon, Nepal, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Togo, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen, as well as a number of chiefs of mission, consuls general, and chiefs of station. In contrast to the British letter, which criticizes British policy both with regard to Israel and Iraq, the U.S. letter focuses exclusively on Bush's policies in the Israeli-Palestinian arena and most notably his endorsement of the Sharon plan and recent policy changes on final status issues. The letter was published in the Guardian on 4 May and is available online at www.commondreams.org
