ONLY THE PEOPLE WILL STOP WAR ON IRAN!
President Bush has made accusations that Iran supports attacks on U.S. troops, without any evidence. When we hear other elected officials like Senator John McCain saying (to the tune of Barbara Ann), 'Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran,' the horrific seems possible (again!).
Our own Senator Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that any U.S. military move into Iran would be 'catastrophically stupid' and 'unleash a conflagration like we've never heard of before.' We could not possibly agree more.
Click here to read a letter that was sent to our Congressional Delegation outlining why peaceful negotiations are the ONLY way to deal with the rising tensions between the US and Iran, and in the Middle East in general.
