Don't Risk Another Nuclear Showdown: Support Direct Negotiations with Iran Now
Target: George W. Bush, PresidentSponsored by: Ploughshares Fund
Now is the time to find peaceful solutions to the the standoff over Iran's nuclear program. Opening lines of communication with Iran is the only way to facilitate a non-nuclear resolution - avoiding another nuclear crisis.
The "no negotiation" approach to Iran has not been successful. For nearly 26 years now, the U.S. has had no formal diplomatic dialogue with Iran, even though key governmental bodies in Iran are eager to talk.
Credible sources say preparations are underway for military action against Iran. "Everything is on the table," says the administration - everything, that is, except direct talks.
The war in Iraq taught us about the disastrous costs of reckless and unsustainable military action. We now must bear the consequences of refusing to talk directly to North Korea. But we still have time to change our course with Iran. By openly communicating with those in Iran who want to negotiate, we can avoid another Iraq.
Tell President Bush to take a diplomatic approach with Iranian leaders. Direct negotiations are needed now more than ever!

We don't need another war. We have lost too many now as it is with our people over in Iraq. The United States is going into depression right now. I don't believe that we are "Doing Well" with people losing their jobs because they can't afford to drive to work, or plants have to shut down because they can't afford to keep the workers they have. We don't need to go into another war with Iran. This is bull crap. No More wars.

If the human species is to survive, we need to learn to solve our issues with intelligence, not with brute force. War with Iran might very well be World War. And with the weapons available on this planet. It might well be the war none of us would survive. Please use wisdom. Please negotiate.

We have our hands full with Afghanistan and Iraq. Try a different solution this time - like talking to them instead of shooting.

Mr. Bush, you only have a short time to save your presidency from a history of disaster. Please have direct negotiations with Iran so that you will be remembered in the future for doing at least 1 right thing. Enough men and women have given their lives, bodies during your administration. Enough is enough.

Iran is a beautiful place with beautiful citizens - PLEASE avoid war that will destroy our country's morale - economy - and in Iran will destroy historical landmarks, leave children homeless and will fuel the U.S. reputation as bullies!
