Like the war on Iraq? You'll love the war on Iran.

Are you still flabbergasted that the Bush administration CHOSE to go to war on Iraq before it had exhausted every possible option? Today, CHOOSE to take action to prevent the next war -- this time, on Iran. If not you, who?

June 2008: Some actions to take to prevent war on Iran!

JUNE 10, 2008: National Call In Day to Congress Two types of calls were going on: Congress was flooded with calls from all over the country; and people stopped at phones set up on Capitol Hill to make direct calls to people in Iran.

WAND public policy director Marie Rietmann reports: The phones were busy for the whole three-hour period. LOTS of press covered the event, and there was excellent participation in the press conference by groups from Pat Buchanan’s to FCNL, and electeds and former electeds -- from Barbara Lee (D-CA)/WiLL Honorary Co-Chair to Bob Barr (R-GA)/Libertarian candidate for President. WAND/WiLL Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) is pictured here. Big gold stars to Carah Ong, Iran Policy Analyst for the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, for putting the whole thing together!

Send an email to the House: The bill urges the administration to engage directly with Iran and Syria and implement a comprehensive diplomatic strategy with bilateral, multilateral, and international dimensions to stabilize Iraq and reduce regional tensions; and urges sustained commitment of the U.S. to work with Iraq, the neighboring countries, and the UN to cooperate in funding efforts for reconstruction and relief to the Iraqi people.

Send an email to the Senate Urge your Senators to cosponsor S. 2130. Ask them to support what amounts to a dramatic reversal of the Bush administration policy of exclusion that threatens more violence in Iraq and a wider war with Iran.

The same people who enthusiastically advocated the invasion of Iraq are once again raising the drumbeat for military action against Iran.

While the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (November 2007) seemed to undermine the case for launching a military attack against Iran, the Bush administration is now beefing up its justifications for war. It is labeling Iran one of the greatest threats to American security, and blaming Tehran for the difficulties American troops face in Iraq.

The reality is that the staggering economic, humanitarian, political and military consequences of a conflict between the U.S. and Iran would damage American strategic interests for years to come.
