No War with Iran

Target: Secretary of State Rice, & Chairs of the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committee
Sponsored by: Peace Action Education Fund
As unbelievable as it may seem, the White House has given a "prepare to deploy" order sending the USS Eisenhower to the Persian Gulf, and leaked reports are warning that the Bush Administration is making further preparations for a military strike against Iran.

Is this simply an escalation of the administration’s saber-rattling? An attempt to provoke Iran and create a Tonkin Gulf-like rationale to justify military strikes? Or is this actually the first step of planned military action against Iran, with the administration’s declarations of attempted diplomacy just as phony as they were before the Iraq war?

We cannot wait to prevent an unprovoked attack against Iran.

Military action against Iran would inevitably kill large numbers of innocent people, foster even greater hatred towards the United States, and bring international condemnation. Our own intelligence agencies have concluded the Iraq war has worsened the terrorist threat, and a war against Iran would add immeasurably more fuel to the fire.

Stand up to the Administration - Demand that there be no war in Iran!

We, the undersigned, vehemently oppose any U.S. military action against Iran. Such military action would inevitably kill large numbers of innocent people, foster even more hatred and international condemnation of the U.S., and dramatically increase the instability of the region. Our own intelligence agencies have concluded the Iraq war has worsened the terrorist threat, and a war against Iran would add immeasurably more fuel to the fire.

Even if Iran decided to build a nuclear weapon, experts agree that it would take several years. There is no crisis, and our government should not create one with inflammatory rhetoric or military threats. The U.S. has both the time and obligation to work with the international community to fashion a diplomatic resolution to the situation, and the current refusal of U.S. officials to talk directly with Iranian officials cannot possibly help.

Therefore, we urge you to take all steps necessary to reach a peaceful resolution to the current situation, including direct negotiations without pre-conditions. This is the only way to prevent yet another war, one that would be a calamity of truly global proportions.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

I have to tell you that in my opinion this President is not going to leave office until he can show the world he knows what he is doing???????? It is time that the citizens of this country call for his resignation or impeachment! Either way we need him out before he kills all our men and women. Congress stop the money going to support this war and get our men and women home. To hell with a gradual pullout, I say bring them all home at once and let them deal with each other. I am appauled to think that our country thinks they have to stick their noses in everyone else's business. They need to keep our country safe and bring our troops home to do it. The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. This comes from Article 2 Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States. Stop this war before it gets started or we will never get our troops home. This is only my opinion but, I truly believe that this President needs to be impeached. He has this country in one hell of a mess and we as citizen's need to stop him.

This administration is mad, power-hungry, and megalomanic interpreters of what they decide should be God's will! They must be stopped before they destroy any chance of peace for the following generations, just because they want to die rich.

America and Americans are not nation builders. We are better than that. We need to take a good look at our own government and remember what made this country great.

Stop Bush! Bush lusts for an invasion of Iran. Iran has been in his sights from the beginning and his lies, designed to create fear, will shift to serve his money and power-hungry desires. The Bush family care only for the wellfare the corporate war mongers and see Iran as an enriching desert after feasting on the suffering caused in Iraq.
